Hanna Oeberg is Sweden's biathlon hope.
Martin Ponsiluoma too.
They are now a couple.
And their respective exes are dating too.
Now her coach is talking about the relationship.
Update from December 16, 10:24 a.m .:
The
Munich Merkur (December 16 issue)
conducted an interview with the Munich Johannes Lukas, who is the head coach of the biathletes from Sweden.
The interview was also about strange love constellations (see first report).
Lukas responded to the question of whether there would be any problems after the flirtation madness as follows: "The story was some time ago, we knew that it would come out at some point and that it would be a feast for the media.
For me it is and was not a big issue.
I have set a clear line.
Everyone who wants to be in my team has to work professionally and be one hundred percent involved in training.
And everyone does that.
They have to live privately outside of it.”
When asked whether the relationship is now broken because one of the athletes concerned said that the "formerly committed team no longer exists," Lukas replies professionally: "I'm traveling through the winter with 14 athletes, not all of them have to be best friends being.
But it has to work in training, and it does.”
Love carousel in biathlon: Athlete dream couple officially together - both ex-partners are now also a couple
First report from December 10th:
Stockholm – Sweden's winter sports world was surprised by one of the strangest love messages of the season.
The top biathlon athlete Hanna Oeberg and Martin Ponsiluoma are now officially a couple.
Biathlon love affairs are not uncommon, but two world-class athletes hand in hand?
That's nice for the sports romantics.
But that's far from the tip of the iceberg.
The two ex-partners of Oeberg and Ponsiluoma have now also found someone - each other.
And now it's getting even stranger: These two are also winter sports enthusiasts - yes, even biathlon professionals.
Jesper Nelin, formerly dating Hanna Oeberg, is now dating Fanny Johansson, formerly Ponsiluoma lover.

Oeberg appeared in a selfie with Ponsiluoma on October 17, 2021, captioning it, "It's starting to smell like winter on our walk, what more could you ask for?".
A day later, the Swedish newspaper "Expressen" quoted Oeberg, possibly referring to the photo: "It's true that we are together and it feels very good.
And we thought it would be a good idea to go public with it now.”
And how did Nelin and Johansson's relationship come about?
Nelin first raises allegations against Ponsiluoma in
Aftonbladet
by saying that his colleague broke up with Johansson after the World Ski Championships because he was already interested in Hanna.
This is how Nelin and Johansson, both single, found each other: “Fanny and I talked to each other and it helped a lot.
That's how Fanny and I met and found each other.
Hanna will probably want to say something else, but they were the ones who started it," Nelin told Aftonbladet.

Ultimately, the team is said to have suffered great damage, as Nelin reports.
"We were a damn close team, but I would say it's not like that anymore.
At least it works in any case and we train together".

Should the Swedish coaching team come up with the idea of sending the four-person mixed relay into the race together, everyone will be happy if the rifle is only used at the shooting range.
