The dike and courses in Östersund have double Olympic silver medalist Elvira Öberg nothing to complain about.
- We have very good training opportunities, she says.
But notes:
- Then it is not the funniest weather in Östersund in May, she continues.
The national team will soon travel to Crete for a three-week training camp.
- It is a good balance this year with a few camps, even though there are not as many as we had before.
Good for fishing
Martin Poniluoma, also with an Olympic silver from Beijing, also values the opportunity to continue training at home.
- I think it has been very nice to be home a lot.
You have your own routines and do not have to be on the dike for a certain amount of time.
You step up, eat what you want and go to the training.
It will not be as upset, he says.
- It's close to a lot.
Like fishing.
It is only 20 minutes away to good water.
The disadvantage is above all that the opportunity to train on long uphill slopes is limited, according to Ponsiluoma.
- The only thing you miss are long uphills.
But we have the band in Östersund that we have used more now, which is positive.
But abroad you can drive an hour and a half uphill at interval speed so there is a big difference.
The arrangement means fewer travel days and has also been designed with the travel's environmental impact in mind.
