There was only one barrier during Sunday’s sprint, and Anna-Karin Heijdenberg eventually finished in a strong second place.
– It means a lot. That I got to shoot was great, says the 23-year-old i The winter studio.
A fine performance for Heijdenberg, who belongs to the national development team. But it is not enough for her to be selected for the World Cup premiere in two weeks.
The rule stops
– It’s not because I think she doesn’t deserve it. But that’s because she hasn’t gone to the IBU Cup yet, so she’s not qualified to go to the World Cup, says SVT Sports expert Helena Ekholm and continues:
– It is because there are very large starting fields in the World Cup. They have limited it and this rule exists because you have to have a certain level to go to the World Cup.
The 23-year-old Heijdenberg will compete in the IBU Cup on November 28 in Kontiolahti, Finland.
– Now it’s time to go home to Östersund. I hope to run the IBU Cup next, she says.
