Anna Magnusson better than ever in biathlon

Swedish biathlete Anna Magnusson holds second place in the overall World Cup during her eleventh season. At 30 years old, she is performing better than ever, but strongly dislikes being called a veteran.

Anna Magnusson has impressed in the biathlon World Cup this season. She sits in second place in the overall standings, an achievement during her eleventh consecutive season on the tour. The 30-year-old Swede has reached new heights in her career, despite now being viewed as a seasoned competitor.

Magnusson expresses frustration with the label 'veteran,' a term often applied to older athletes. 'I hate that word!', she says laughing in an interview. Her performances demonstrate that age does not prevent top results in the demanding sport of biathlon, where endurance and precision are key to success.

With this season's progress, Magnusson underscores her ongoing relevance on the international stage. Her ranking follows a series of strong showings, though specific competitions are not detailed. As one of Sweden's leading biathletes, she continues to inspire younger talents.
