Biathlon: Sweden’s boys down to five for Oberhof
On Tuesday morning, just two days before the start of hostilities, theSwedish Biathlon Association unveiled the list of athletes selected for the World Cup in Oberhof (Germany). Absent from Le Grand-Bornand (Haute-Savoie) before Christmas due to illness, Hanna Oeberg is making her return to competition.
While Anna Magnusson, who was ill during the summer break, is still in the squad, Sara Andersson has not recovered sufficiently to be included. Elvira Oeberg, Anna-Karin Heijdenberg, Johanna Skottheim and Ella Halvarsson complete the squad.
On the boys’ side, there are only five players, the quota not having been filled by the staff following the illness of Anton Ivarsson, who has withdrawn. Jesper Nelin, Malte Stefansson, Martin Ponsiluoma, Sebastian Samuelsson and Viktor Brandt have been selected. The up-and-coming players have been selected for the IBU Cup.
