THE PODIUM: Sturla Holm Lægreid, Johannes Thingnes Bø and Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen Photo: CHRISTOF STACHE / AFP Locking the weapon for Lægreid Lægreid did not have a good experience in the relay on Friday, and missed a total of four times in the standing shooting. Then trainer Siegfried Mazet took action, and locked Lægreid’s weapon in his own room. – I had his weapon in my room, so there was no dry training and no opportunity for him to start touching the weapon and overthinking. No focus on shooting, but only focus on recovering. stay healthy and get ready for today, says Mazet to news before the race. Bæringen initially wanted to join Johannes Dale and Filip Fjeld Andersen in a training session yesterday, but was met with skepticism by Mazet. – Sturla wanted to come over and train. I wasn’t sure if this was such a good idea. I told him I thought it best not to shoot anything, but he still said he wanted to shoot. An hour later he came and said he wasn’t going to train anyway, but instead gave me his gun and told me to lock it in my room. ADVICE: Sturla Holm Lægreid finally listened to her coach. Likes to fix the weapon Lægreid is known for fiddling, screwing and making many small adjustments to the weapon between runs. Mazet hopes that he stops doing that. – He’s very good at standing. There is only one competition in the relay that has not been good. The weapon is good and he is good. It’s just about mindset, and we have to work on that a bit, says Mazet. – So he has to stop fiddling with the weapon? – Yes. I hope so. I can’t decide over him, but I do my best.
