The biathlete is currently in Ruhpolding and training with the German national biathlon team, for which her husband Sverre is the coach. The summer has offered a lot of hardship, and the form rattles. – It has been hard this summer. I haven’t gotten the response to the training that I wanted, and I didn’t quite understand why. Then I got hellfire at the start of autumn, says Røiseland to news. DUO: Sverre and Marte Olsbu Røiseland. Here from Holmenkollen in March this year.

That put him completely out of his game. – Now I’ve had a few weeks completely off, and I’m just in the start-up phase now. I can’t say that it’s completely flowing yet, so I have to take small steps on the way back, she says. Now she does not dare to have a goal of becoming the overall winner next season, as she was last year. That is why she has set herself another goal. Putting sticks in the wheel It is a cheerful Røiseland who meets news after training with the German biathletes, but she is even happier to train together with her husband. On the other hand, she wishes she was in better shape as of today, and is excited about how her form will possibly be when the season gets underway. – Right now, overall wins can be a bonus. I wish I was in better shape, but I hope I have enough time to get in good training until the snow comes, says Røiseland. BACK: Røiseland trains in Ruhpolding, Germany.

Then it’s the WC in Oberhof, and Røiseland reveals that she really wants to challenge the German biathletes on her home track. – That was what motivated me to persevere, that Sverre is the coach for the German women and that they have the WC on home soil. I really want to try to be a challenger there. Then I have a little more time on my hands. That will be the big goal this year, says Røiseland. – You want to be a little joy killer for Sverre? – In any case, I will try my best. It will be tough, I know they will do an incredibly good job. The WC on home soil will be something very special, but I want to try as hard as I can to spoil them a bit, she says and smiles. Should competitors be scrapped news’s biathlon expert Ola Lunde thinks it makes sense to scrap the goal of overall victory. Then she had to have a solid training base, which should preferably start on 1 May, he says. CONTROL: Biathlon expert Ola Lunde.

To be sure that she will be in good shape for the WC, I think she should scrap a couple, three World Cup rounds before the WC, says Lunde to news. He likes the goal of being a challenger to the German ladies on home soil. – I think it’s very funny that she says that. If everything goes smoothly from now on, there will be no problem. I think she can clearly be one of the biggest favorites to become WC queen. She was Olympic queen last season, so, says Lunde.
