5:11
In the Women's race The Oeberg sisters compete for supremacy over the nation however a fan favorite challenger Stina Nilsson battles for the top spot.

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

Wow👍That is the reason why Stina should race for Sweden. She got really quick her speed up again😊

[@erik....]

I was there for the race on sunday... Really cool to see all the world cup stars live and in such a small competition where you could stand next to them and watch.

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

That's one of the coolest things about summer racing. You get an up close experience that you don't get at the WC. When US and Canada used to face off at N.A. rollerski champs it was so cool to see my heros race up close

[@erik....]

@@BrianHalligan-USA Yes at one point I was standing at the shooting range watching the men's race and the Öberg sisters came to stand just next to me.. But I was too starstruck to say anything hehe.

[@zigamaltar6992]

Found your channel today :) Interesting video, I'll be definitely checking your videos from now on. Rooting for Stina to get a spot in Swedish team and get some great results in the winter season :) Keep up the good work!

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

Thanks! I hope to see more of Stina too! Let me know if you have any content recommendations for the channel

[@robsherwood1930]

Appreciate it. I agree that Samulesson and Ponsiluoma give the Swedish men a great 1-2 punch. These two plus the sisters make for a great Mixed Relay team.

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

Samuelsson, ponsiluoma, H. Oeberg and E. Oeberg or Nilsson would be a STACKED mixed relay team

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

I agree, give Stina some time, Denise Herrmann needed 4 seasons if I an not mistaken.

[@michaelyblam]

Got a link from KZbin on your channel. Love it. I am primarily a cross country skiing (and roller skiing) follower but not much on biathlon but now with I am going to pick up the biathlon scene more especially with English commentaries. Thank you very much.

[@michaelyblam]

I was a BIG fan of Stina when she was racing cross country.

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

Thanks for the comment. This gives me more motivation to create content than you can imagine! Hit subscribe and share with your friends for more biathlon content haha!

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

obviously as an American I know Stina most from when she and Jessie Diggins battled to the line in the PeyongChang Team Sprint. It would be great to see Jessie pick up the rifle and compete with Stina at an IBU event haha

[@michaelyblam]

@@BrianHalligan-USA , a few reasons why I do not follow biathlon are: 1. I do NOT understand the rules and even upon googling I still cannot find a site that I can get a basic understanding of how to score by mixing skiing and shooting; 2. the nature of the sport which skiing is 'interrupted' by shooting thus loosing the continuity or the flow in the sport.

[@michaelyblam]

Can you point me to videos and/or websites which I can learn more on how to watch biathlon?

[@maxsonthonax1020]

Thanks for the lead on this event footage.

[@bburr360]

Great job, Brian! Thanks!

[@Nativusdes]

Got a new sub! Let's go, finally season!

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

LETS GOOOOOO

[@sjomange]

Great job

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed

[@michaelguerin56]

Another great video. Thank you. Break down of that rifle mounting should be interesting. It might be an adaptation of a game control (as opposed to recreational hunting) technique.

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

Not sure I understand... a video about shooting technique or best practices for holding the rifle?

[@michaelguerin56]

@@BrianHalligan-USA The break down of how that rifle is moved from the carrying position to the shooting position. You talked about analysing exactly how that movement was carried out.

[@tjv1516]

W o w. She'll be DANGEROUS! Sweden might just take the relay medal in Olympics

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

She would be an incredible addition to the Swedish relay team.

[@timbero2006]

I am equally impressed with Stina's skiing, as I am worried about Hanna's speed around the course....

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

Hanna will be ok. Still only summer. February is when it counts 😉

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

Sorry for the spoiler in the thumbnail. Gotta get those clicks 😉

[@cherylchadwick1886]

while i enjoy watching biathlon races, i really don't like the music. and i could do without a small picture of you in the frame. otherwise, thanks for the video.

[@BrianHalligan-USA]

Thanks for the feedback, Cheryl. I left a link to the full race for those who don't want my commentary.

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

@@BrianHalligan-USA this is not what she meant😁

[@suneholm5372]

Even if its impressive, stina is still not young. She will be 29 years old next year. Women dont last as long as men in biathlon. If she turns out to be a real talent and actually can be top 10 this season or even go for the medals, she will have like 2-3 years left untill she gets to old. Even most men in biathlon quits in the early 30:s

[@DanielLarsson01]

Ja, eller hur. Magdalena Forsberg vann Världscupen första gången när hon var 30, och vem minns väl henne? Just ja, hon vann de nästföljande 5 åren också.

[@suneholm5372]

@@DanielLarsson01 Självklart finns det undantag, precis som att björndalen höll hög nivå även vid 40 års ålder, men det är han ju ganska ensam om. Säger inte att stina är körd bara för hon är 28 år nu, men säger att sanolikheten att hon ska va bra i flera år framöver är ganska liten. Är hon i toppen redan i år så kan vi säkert se hon göra bra i från sig kommande 5 åren. Ska bli spännande att se om några månader hur hon står sig.
