– I was so stressed. I came in for standing shooting and then I have no magazine, says Nilsson with a laugh about the incident to news. The Swedish biathlete caused a stir when she took an unusually long time on the first shot. The confusion and helplessness got the better of Nilsson – What am I going to do now without becoming a disk? Because I don’t know. I probably waved and shouted that I had nothing to shoot with, says the Swede. In the end, she got hold of help and was explained that she was missing the magazine and thus could not shoot. RÅDVILL: Nilsson says that she didn’t know what to do. Photo: Hanne Skjellum / news – It’s a beginner’s mistake, commented news’s biathlon expert Ola Lunde during the race. He doesn’t think she can blame anyone but herself. – It is her own fault, because the athlete is responsible for checking everything before the start. Obviously, the fastening devices for the magazines on the stock have not been properly attached. She probably needs to tighten up those routines a bit, says Lunde after the competition. Explaining the incident It was while standing that things suddenly got into trouble for Nilsson. – The (magazines) I was supposed to have standing were not there. I had no idea where they were going. Obviously they had fallen out during my prone series, but I had no idea when I was shooting, she says. Nilsson feels 100 percent sure that she started the race with all four magazines. – It gives you experience. I am satisfied that I handled the situation as I did, and did not brandish the weapon, says the former cross-country star. She naturally ended up far behind, and ended up number 34 in Kontiolahti. – I probably stood there for a minute on the mat. No, it was not optimal in a competition where I felt I had great momentum, where I skated zero and I was going forward. It was just a matter of waiting and trying to make a good series afterwards. – Frustrating Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold, who had a tough day on the trail and at the stand, is amazed when she hears about Nilsson’s blister. – Oh. I’m not sure if I’ve experienced it in competition, but it’s certainly the biggest fear, says Tandrevold. She says she had a similar experience in Holmenkollen last year. – I entered a disc that had not been pulled up. It’s the closest I can relate to it, and it’s a really nasty shit feeling, so to speak, says Tandrevold. Here is the incident Tandrevold is talking about: Tandrevold was standing still for a long time. She charged and looked clear, but began to wave and signal that something was wrong. She says it is frustrating to lose seconds due to mistakes like this on the stand. – It’s frustrating, but fortunately it’s not the end of the world, because there will be many, many more ski races. Ida Lien ended up far behind as best Norwegian when French Julia Simon ran away with the victory at the start of the chase in Kontiolahti. With three misses, Tandrevold also shot away in the fight for a podium place.
