Men’s Mixed Bag Performance
The men’s squad was a mixed bag performance-wise; highlighting Samuelsson’s overall great season and Martin Ponsiluoma’s Olympic Mass Start Silver medal, but beyond that on significant low point. “The men’s relay was our biggest disappointment. We only showed what we can one time, second in Kontiolahti. All the other relays, every time a penalty loop; three great performances and one bad.”

Hanna’s shooting struggles
Besides success, there are also disappointments. Yet Sweden’s lows, as in the case of Hanna Oeberg would be reasons to celebrate for many nations. “We were not happy with Hanna’s season. She had really good ski performance but her shooting has been going down the last two years (dropping from 86% in 18/19 to 79% in 21/22). We made a clear cut this year, new rifle (stock), new focus on shooting and a step back on physical. The goal is to hold the physical level where it is, get the shooting level back; then she is one of the best!”

“Surprised we had so many different successes”
Although the team showed strength all season going, Lukas was caught off guard by their World Cup results when all eyes were focused on Beijing. “I was surprised we had so many different successes. I was hoping for Olympic medals but we did not put that much priority on the World Cup and then we were fighting for the Yellow Jersey on both sides. That we were one of the strongest women’s teams was not a surprise. At the Olympics, on the day that counted, with everyone expecting a medal, from the first meter, you saw that the girls were thinking, ‘today we win Gold.’ They really handled the pressure well.”

Five biathletes got married in the past weeks, the only time they could afford to do so. Their heavy training load in the summer and an intense competitive winter don't allow for other activities. On three occasions a biathlete married a biathlete, one biathlete married an ex-race walker, and one married her coach.

Under the snowy sky
