Because the Froland express has taken its last shots as a biathlon. The shots and the race were a big boost for Røiseland, who took second place in Holmenkollen. – I do not know what to say. I’m just incredibly, incredibly impressed. For a lady, says news expert Synnøve Solemdal. Røiseland is among Norway’s most successful in the sport and takes home all Olympic gold and 13 World Cup gold. – It is very sad, but it also feels very right. I’m really looking forward to what life has to offer. Right now it’s a bit sad, but also a lot of joy about doing something else, said Røiseland to news.

Father Kjetil Bjørn Røiseland had put on the T-shirt he wore in his daughter’s first World Cup race in 2012. – It will be incredibly strange. It has been a long, long journey with such incredibly great experiences, so here we are today. I don’t know how it will turn out, but it will be sensitive, Father Røiseland told news. She is starting the same season as teammate Tiril Eckhoff. Eckhoff has not taken part in this year’s seasons after a troubled year, but was present as a spectator in Holmenkollen. – I enjoy watching biathlon from the stands. I only get to make use of it when I’m standing here on the stand, Eckhoff told news during the race. – Looks tired For Røiseland, it was a dream start to her last race, after a full house on the first prone shooting. Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold is considered the one who will take over the baton from Røiseland and Eckhoff, and delivered just as many hits. – They are doing quite well today. It’s lovely to see that they are on the cutting edge, said Eckhoff after the first shooting. PÅSKRUDD: Marte Olsbu Røiseland in her last race.

The profiles Julia Simon and Hanna Öberg shot a full house and got a big opening. Swedish Öberg continued the dot-free shooting on his third shooting, while Simon had to go out in two penalty rounds. Røiseland delivered fully and was back in the race for the podium. But: – Now she looks tired, said news commentator Andreas Stabrun Smith. – Don’t wake me up But Røiseland showed the commentators and all of Norway what a raw biathlete she is. On the fourth and last shooting, she nailed all the flashes, while the competitors missed. Hanna Öberg got a small gap, but Røiseland was only 15.9 seconds behind in second place. GAVE THE LAST SHE HAD: The Froland Express. Photo: Javad Parsa / NTB – What a dream ending to a dream career. Oh, don’t wake me. I will have this dream for the rest of the afternoon and evening. She crushes all opponents on the stand, said Stabrun Smith. Öberg was superb in the finish, while Røiseland secured an impressive second place. Anaïs Chevalier-Bouchet took the final podium spot. Fog problem There was a slight uncertainty about the biathlon races in Holmenkollen on Sunday, after the morning offered dense fog and light rain. The jury wanted to have a meeting an hour before the men’s race to assess the conditions during submission. There it was decided that the chutes went as planned. There has been fog in Holmenkollen all day, which has also been a problem for parts of the Holmenkollen weekend. On Friday, the women’s sprint was canceled due to poor visibility. But it was a nice end to the Kollen weekend on Sunday.
