"We have quite a good situation in Finland and I have been able to train almost normally. Due to corona, we haven’t been able to travel for high altitude camps but other than that it has been nice to stay home more than normal. But other than that summer training has gone well and as planned." (biathlon23.wordpress.com, 13 Aug 2020)
