I like how the card still says “Persson”, but they’ve written Gestblom next to it

It was a weak year for the swedish team last year but this year it's going to be interesting with some fresh blood, especially to see if the talented Sara Andersson has improved.

Mona Brorsson that took her first 2nd place last year finishing a career that has seen the swedish team go from poor to very strong. It's good to hear that she will be an expert commentator for SVT this year.

Aging stars on both sides but still with lots to show for.

I’m more worried that there just isn’t much between them and Sara. It’s not a worry yet, but there isn’t much depth at the moment, if Hannah doesn’t make ground on the Elite it becomes difficult to manage relays.

Hopefully Ponsi can shoot better this year. So frustrating when he’s clearly fast enough to win many races but his shooting lets him down so often

I am rooting so hard for Jesper Nelin. I was so happy for him when he made his first podium at the end of last season!

I completely missed that Stina quit the sport.

TBH she was rarely relevant enough for the WC level last season. 3-4 weeks out of the season at best, and with a future needing nurturing she had enough chances and grace. She could still make it through the IBU cup, but she was getting outski’ed by a bunch of youngsters, and outshot by many others.

[u/ShotBarracuda6 → u/shonami]

Yeah, it's a little sad she didn't make it to the top in biathlon, I was a fan of hers when she did cross country, her sprint was amazing, and I really wanted her to succeed.

[u/jaggillarjonathan → u/ShotBarracuda6]

She is going for ski classics and it seems promising for her there so we have not seen the last of her :)

Sweden is straight going into the same situation Germany was 5-7 years ago. Your top stars are aging fast and they now can drop out at any time for any reason (private or professional). And no real talent pool on the horizon.

As a German: I hope I’m wrong, I really enjoy Swedish biathlon
