There was never a “congratulations on the day” to any of the Norwegians from the commentator’s booth on Wednesday’s 15-kilometer. Instead, the terms “bom” and “kanttreff” were frequently used. It was a tough WC day for the Norwegian runners in Oberhof, where no one was able to fight for top positions. That on a day where Sweden had a lot to cheer about. Hanna Öberg missed once, drove lightning fast on the course and is in line for the WC gold in the normal distance. The Swede crushed the competition and was joined by a countrywoman on the podium. – I didn’t think it would go so well here today, I don’t know why, but I knew it was tough in the track. It is a great blessing that I stay focused throughout the race, says Öberg to news. JUBILEE: Hanna Öberg and Sweden impressed on the slopes in Oberhof.

You had to work for it today. It was so extremely intense to shoot four zeroes. The fact that I set them is something I am so proud of, says Persson to news after the race. The race is still going on, but the supposed best have gone. – They (Sweden) are on their way to something big here, said news’s commentator Andreas Stabrun Smith when Öberg crossed the finish line. – Too bad Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold got off to a difficult start in the normal distance and was never in the close fight. The carrier first missed the first horizontal shot once, before it all went dark. Tandrevold missed three times in the first standing shooting and thus had his podium dream spoiled. – It’s a far too bad standing series, said news’s biathlon expert Ola Lunde. Tandrevold would still finish well with a full house in the last standing shootout, but had a total of four misses in total. – It was a boring day at work. It started a bit badly and then you’re really out of it before the race starts. I’m kind of not upset, just incredibly mad at myself. I make such stupid mistakes that I shouldn’t, she says to news after the race. – For example? – On the first lying down I miss one shot, and lying down I have to sit. I’m simply screwing up too much there. Usually you screw a little too small. I am told that there is a bit of wind, and I also think it might be a bit more than it is, and then I turn off the blinker. It’s almost as annoying as not having screwed, so it’s a difficult balancing act there. Screwed too much Tandrevold thinks she was told that there was a little more wind and that they should be careful of the wind. – The worst feeling is if you have screwed up too little, and have considered screwing up but haven’t done so. So I thought I’d take a couple of tricks, and then I see afterwards that I screwed up too much. And it’s almost as annoying, she says. There has generally been a lot of failure from the Norwegians on Wednesday’s normal distance so far. The race is still ongoing, but of the three Norwegians who have shot four times, there have been a total of 13 misses in 60 shots.
