Stina Nilsson (26) literally did not save in the dust in her attempt to reach the top in biathlon.
Next season he will face Mars Olsbu Røiseland, Tiril Eckhoff and the rest of the world elite. To learn the “art,” the former cross-country skier now has up to 1,200 shots per week with his rifle, according to his own shooter.
There are twice as many shots fired by the world of Johannes Thingnes Bø during an intense week of training on the shooting range.
The World Cup winner estimates that VG can hit 600 shots per week, but the usual for him is a maximum of 100 shots per session and three to four sessions per week.

Välbe on Stina Nilsson: don’t think she endured the competition
Stina Nilsson is stealing a few thousand dollars from the booth now that she has become a national team runner. Not cheap The ammunition used for training costs around a penny per shot. For Nilsson, that means NOK 1,200 a week, or NOK 4,800 a month.
The ammunition used during competitions costs almost two crowns per piece.
– 1200 shots per week is more or less regardless of who you compare yourself to, says national team manager Per Arne Botnan of the Norwegian Skating Association.
– The number of shots says nothing about the work you are doing. I don’t know how sensible it is, because there are many other things that should be done and focused.
According to Botnan, the Norwegian firearms that fire the most are 20,000 shots a year. Johannes Thingnes Bø is one of the athletes who shoots the least.
– It varies from one artist to another. John is efficient and confident. That’s why you don’t need to shoot as much, says Per Arne Botnan.

Shooting coach Jean-Marc Chabloz has been working with Stina Nilsson for over a month. The Swiss has been impressed.
– She is the best I have had so far. Stina has learned to shoot very fast. I think it is related to her being wild and crazy and looking forward to every session on the shooting range. I think it has a great connection to her learning this so quickly, says SVT, 52.

This is why the Bø brothers have faith in Stina Nilsson
The Swiss, who participated in four Olympics and 11 World Cups, says that the Beijing Olympics in 2022 is a natural goal. And he is happy with the progress.
– I really like what I see, but biathlon is complicated and is part of a process. You have the input, the shot itself, the output and the total shooting time that is faster and faster. When I continued, we spent twice as much time on the field as the athletes today. That is a challenge, and perhaps it is where we have to do the most, says Chabloz.
