Overview
- The Swedish biathletes ended their collaboration with Olle Håkansson and will employ their mother, Viktoria, full time starting this summer.
- Hanna finished second overall in the World Cup and Elvira fourth, which brought a surge of autograph requests, media inquiries and sponsor work.
- Viktoria plans to quit her job as a kindergarten teacher to manage their careers and travel with them on the World Cup circuit.
- Her duties will include fan mail and all sponsor and media contacts, and she will move from a ten percent cut of earnings to a regular salary after already spending about 20 hours a week on fan mail.
- The sisters say no specific incident led to the change and they want a more personal setup that keeps more earnings within the family.
