Hanna Öberg aims to compete in the short distance at the World Cup this Wednesday. After her illness, she enters the competition with low expectations. "I am a bit unsure about how my form is," says Öberg. She missed the Swedish launch in Idre Fjäll two weeks ago due to illness. Now, she is in Kontiolahti, Finland, for the World Cup premiere in biathlon and is happy just to be there. However, her current condition is uncertain, having hardly completed any intense training sessions with the rest of the Swedish team and starting with an uncertain form. "I do not expect to be at my absolute best form," Hanna Öberg noted. When asked if she is worried about her form, she replied, "No, I am not worried."
