The battle to win the world cup overall is alive and well with two rounds to go. And the very best is Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold, 93 points ahead of Lisa Vittozzi. But the proof that she is right now the best biathlete in the world, i.e. the yellow starting number, is not something the 27-year-old is too excited about. – You feel that the yellow jersey depends a little on how others do. It is tiring if you compare what you do to others. In order for me to perform in biathlon, it’s about just doing the best I can, says Tandrevold to news. Hear the men’s relay at 20.20 on news Radio tonight. Increasing pressure NEDTUR: The WC in Nove Mesto did not become the championship Tandrevold dreamed of. There were two relay medals and a 10th place as the best result. Photo: BILDBYRÅN She has been asked several times this season whether it gives her extra self-confidence to have done so well. The answer has been “no”, and she has also admitted to her teammates that she is not too happy with the jersey. – It is an observation that is fun in a way, but it can also increase the pressure. You want to do well, but it can be more difficult to do well with the yellow jersey, says Juni Arnekleiv. – The pressure of expectations is not just, just, points out news’s expert Marte Olsbu Røiseland. The Norwegian biathlon women were referred to as an uncertain card before the season, but already during the second World Cup round in Hochfilzen, Tandrevold was able to wear the much-discussed yellow leader’s jersey. She also had it during the WC, but then came the downturn. Since the championship did not count in the World Cup summary, she kept it for the run in Holmenkollen where the Fossum runner fought back. – Just today it was fun (to wear yellow). My nieces are here watching, and they are only two years old and don’t quite understand biathlon, but they realized that Aunt Ingrid was yellow, says Tandrevold. Must find superpowers Røiseland even won the World Cup overall in 2022. She has clear advice for her former teammate.

Photo: JOEL MARKLUND / BILDBYRÅN – The year I took it, I used it for something positive – that he gave me superpowers. It’s about turning it into something positive, and I hope Ingrid will use those superpowers in the last two rounds. It just shows that she has had a good season. So I hope she takes it on in the US and lets her superpowers come, says the former biathlon star. Johannes Thingnes Bø also leads the world cup when five individual races are still standing, 59 points ahead of older brother Tarjei Bø. – It can be tiring towards the end of the season, but the jersey is a strength. Everyone wants to go with him and have points to spare, because we have more room to make mistakes than others, Thingnes Bø points out. But the overall winner is not something Tandrevold wants to think about before the end. – If the others are better than me, I cannot manage. Then I just try to do my best. Then others can drive and count on those points, says the woman in the yellow leader’s shirt.
