On Thursday, he will stand just outside the Czech border in Arber in Šumava, or if you want Javor, to start the sprint within the IBU Cup, ie a kind of second league under the World Cup.
“I’m in place, I’m going for a new adventure,” reports the 27-year-old racer from the race venue via social networks.
In March last year, she shocked the whole world of winter sports with the decision to abandon her highly successful skiing career and switch to another sport.

She had a huge appetite for the new industry and due to her extraordinary running qualities, there was speculation about a possible quick involvement in the biathlon national team. But the reality is quite different.
Nilsson has not yet had a star-studded Swedish a-team. So far, she has only completed national races in Idre and Östersund. The November and December IBU Cup program was canceled due to a coronavirus pandemic and will not start until this week.

In Šumava, however, her debut and the entire multi-day race will be almost secret, because no journalists will be admitted to the complex in addition to the spectators.
“It costs a great deal to create safe plants for the coronavirus threat. The organizers have decided to focus primarily on the actual events and there is not enough money to ensure the health of journalists and the public, “explained the spokesman for Swedish biathletes, Håkan Blidberg.

For Nilsson, this may mean less pressure, because there was already a lot of media interest in her performances at the pre-season preparatory races. Foreign journalists also came to Sweden to see her.
“I understand that there is great interest in the beginning. If I help biathlon gain more fame and people find out how great a sport it is, thanks to me, I will be very happy, “Nilsson responded at the time.
