Several of the Swedish riders fell ill during the holiday at home around Christmas and New Year.

Anna Magnusson, Sebastian Samuelsson and Jesper Nelin all missed about a week of training but were still in Pokljuka, albeit without top form.

For Hanna Öberg, the infection lasted longer and she missed the competition week.

But when the sprint runs in Ruhpolding on Thursday, the 27-year-old will be on the start list.

- She gets a slightly different arrangement than the others.

She runs her harder warm-up as early as tomorrow, Tuesday, to see how the body responds, the others run calmly on Tuesday and harder on Wednesday, says Johannes Lukas.

Hanna Öberg started the season brilliantly when she won the premiere in Kontiolahti and also the relay two days later.

After that, the shooting has not been quite right and the best has been a sixth place.

Despite the missed competitions in Pokljuka, she is tenth overall in the World Cup.
