Nilsson was at the top of her game after winning four medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics and two World Championship titles in 2019. But Nilsson shocked the Nordic community when she announced in 2020 that she was leaving one of the strongest cross country teams in the world to try her hand at biathlon.
