Biathlon: the Swedes head for Idre Fjäll
This week, Sweden’s national biathlon team kicks off its final summer training camp. After visits to the Lavazè pass (Italy), Font-Romeu (Pyrénées-Orientales), Antholz (Italy) and theisland of Crete (Greece), the Swedes are gathering for a fortnight’s training on the snowfarm of Idre Fjäll (Sweden).
For the A group, this course marks the final phase of preparation before the start of the World Cup season. After an intense autumn, during which the team benefited from a good continuity of training, but also had to adapt its schedule due to the illness of some of its members, it is now time for the on-snow sessions.
“Overall, the team is in good shape and we can’t wait to get back on the slopes. It’s always a pleasure to see the athletes back on the snow for the first time this season and to start integrating the competitive elements into their training,” explains head coach Johannes Lukas in a press release.
It should be noted that Linn Gestblom, who has to treat her right shoulder at home, will not be taking part in the early part of the course. She is the only absentee.
