Peppe Femling is reportedly making a comeback at the Swedish Biathlon Championships in Piteå. According to unconfirmed reports, Femling, who retired from biathlon in 2024, will partner with his partner Anna Magnusson in the single mixed relay event on Sunday. Femling trained on Thursday and has been seen at Lindbäcksstadion during the weekend, with Martin Ponsiluoma saying he will be 'deadly'.
Sebastian Samuelsson expressed excitement and tension about Femling's return. The championships have featured events including a women's sprint won by Elvira Öberg and a mass start won by Hanna Öberg, with both sisters and Magnusson aiming for gold in the women's relay before doubling in the single mixed relay. Femling was part of the Swedish men's team that won Olympic gold in Pyeongchang in 2018 and competed in the relay in Beijing 2022 where Sweden finished fifth.
