I am currently staying in Obertilliach, Austria, a one hour drive from Antholz where the last world cup round was held. There I finished 51st in the individual competition with 18 hits. After some hard races in Oberhof it was good for my confidence to get an OK result.
Here in Obertilliach I am living the dream. With fresh made tracks just outside the hotel, a lot of snow and a warming sun. According to the locals, it has been snowing 5 metres here since December ! I will be on my own for one and a half weeks, because the rest of the team went home after Antholz. I wanted to have as little a travel load as possible during these coronatimes, and at the same time have enough time to acclimate to the altitude, which is important since the world championships will take place in Pokljuka situated about 1300 metres above sea level. 
Obertilliach will forever have a special place in my heart. It was here I had my first encounter with the international biathlon world. In 2013 I was elected to represent Norway in the youth world championships. Johannes T. Bø and Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen were among the norwegian biathletes! I remember it as simply awesome to be part of that scene. Performed quite well in some disciplines as well, and came in fourth in the individual race. To be in the flower ceremony, reserved for the top 6 in each competition, was a big moment for me.
