Biathlon: twenty Swedes selected for the world youth and junior championships in Östersund
This Thursday morning, the Swedish Biathlon Association unveiled its squad for the world youth and junior championships in Östersund (Sweden) from 26 February to 5 March.
For this home event, no fewer than twenty Swedes will be defending the colours of the Kingdom. Among them are two notable names: Elsa Taenglander in the youth category (U19) and Sara Andersson in the junior category (U22). It’s worth noting that the former took part in last week’s World Junior Cross-Country Skiing Championships in Schilpario (Italy), without winning a medal.
