Hanna Öberg may shoot at the World Cup premiere in Kontiolahti after being sick before the Swedish premiere in Idre last weekend. \n\nIn her words, "Today I completed my first hard session after feeling unwell and I'm just eager to train more. It’s important to have patience over the next few days to reach peak condition," she told SVT's Vinterstudion. \n\nThe competitions in Finland start on Saturday, November 30, with mixed relays, followed by a women’s relay the next day, December 1. Öberg is contemplating skipping the opening relay events to fully recover but intends to participate in at least the short distance race of 12.5 km on December 4. \n\nShe experienced two periods of illness during the last season, which impacted her overall standing in the World Cup, finishing only in the 12th place.
