Biathlon: Hanna Öberg misses the Sweden premiere in Idre

Hanna Öberg is sick and will miss the season premiere in Idre. The Swedish star will not be competing this weekend during the short distance on Saturday and the sprint on Sunday.

"Unfortunately, I have become ill and have to withdraw," she wrote on Instagram.

Öberg had been looking forward to launching her season this weekend. Unfortunately, she has caught a cold and has to miss the event. She hopes to be back on her feet soon and wishes everyone who is competing good luck.

It is already known that Linn Gestblom (previously known as Persson), currently rehabilitating, and Anton Ivarsson (who had appendicitis) will also not participate.

Vinterstudion premieres this weekend, with SVT broadcasting the competitions.
