Linn Persson was poked in the sprint but will ride tomorrow's distance race. It will thus be her first appearance in the Biathlon World Cup.

- It is very important for everyone, especially for her to finally get to compete. I have to hope that she is not taken over, says Johannes Lukas to SVT Sport.

Sweden has five places and will use all of them, which means that Hanna Öberg, Elvira Öberg, Anna Magnusson and Mona Brorsson will also go.
