"It is important to find the best plan going forward.

I'm torn between getting a lot of skiing experience and managing to get in as many quality sessions as possible before it starts and change the plan almost daily now," writes Brorsson on his Instagram.

It is "short distance" on the program with 12.5 km for ladies and 15 km for men.

There are four shooting stations with 45 second increments for each missed shot. 

In addition to the Swedish and French national teams, national team skaters from Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Greece, Belgium and the Czech Republic will compete in this weekend's competitions, which will be broadcast in SVT's Vinterstudion, which premieres for the season.

Last weekend, the riders had a test race, also in Idre, where no results were released.

Elvira Öberg won among the ladies and Jesper Nelin among the men.

"These results would go a long way in the World Cup," said head coach Johannes Lukas to Svenskt Skidskytte's Instagram after that competition.

The World Cup premieres in Kontiolahti, Finland, on November 29.
