Jenny Jonsson
The wedding of Jenny Jonsson and Markus Lindbäck on July 4 looked a bit like a reunion of the Swedish women’s team from a few years ago. Jonsson, who retired after the 2013-14 season competed for several years on the World Cup circuit. One of her career highlights was leading off the winning Swedish women’s relay team at Oberhof in 2011 that was anchored by her older sister Helena Ekholm. That same relay team finished second in Antholz that season. Among the guests who posed for a photo with the bride that day were Ekholm, former teammate Anna Maria Nilsson and Bettan Hogberg. Hogberg, a talented baker made the wedding cake for Jonsson’s big day.
Ekaterina Glazyrina
That same day, far across Russia, Ekaterina Glazyrina, 13th in last season’s World Cup Total Score was married in the southern part of Siberia. Since her marriage, two other Russian biathletes have changed their names through marriage. Irina Trusova is now Irina Uslugina while Tatiana Semenova is now Tatiana Akimova.
Biathlonworld offers our congratulations and best wishes to all of these newlyweds!
