– This is downright sensational, says Ola Lunde. news’s biathlon expert widened his eyes when he heard about the very surprising series of Slovenian Jakov Fak during Sunday’s World Cup relay in Hochfilzen. Eight misses and five penalty rounds made the prone shooting a nightmare for the former world champion. – Something must have happened to his weapon. He must have been fired or something. Nor did the main character himself understand what was going on. – I really don’t know what happened. It’s the first time I miss all the shots, says Fak to news. – How did it feel? – Very bad. Because you’re trying to figure out what happened. If there was wind, it could be explained, but now without any wind with almost perfect conditions it is quite strange. – It beats my record – It’s the worst thing I’ve seen, says TV 2’s biathlon expert Ole Einar Bjørndalen about the series of failures to Fak. – That should not be possible. He misses all his shots down the right. There is no wind and all the booms are down to the right, continues Bjørndalen. The former world champion’s competitors are also raising eyebrows. Johannes Thingnes Bø in particular is set. – It beats my record from Rupholding a few years ago as well, where I had three penalty rounds on one stage. FIVE(!): Jakov Fak was forced to realize that the relay was ruined for his beloved Slovenia, when he had to skate around five times in the penalty round in Hochfilzen. Photo: Hans Solbakken / news Yesterday’s winner has not heard of anything like this before, and thinks it is special that it is happening precisely with Fak. – He is one of the best prone shooters in the circus. Something has happened. A crack in the scope or a loose screw or something, says Thingnes Bø. – I’m sure it’s something weapon-related, believes Sturla Holm Lægreid. He switched 9.1 seconds behind French Eric Perrot after the first stage, sending Tarjei Bø out a few seconds behind France. It was on this stage that Jakov Fak stole all the attention by missing eight out of eight blinkers, but at the front Norway fought against France. Thanks and bows Johannes Thingnes Bø went into the lead on the third stage, but despite two misses on lying shooting and one miss on standing, he increased his lead over his competitors. Thus Thingnes Bø sent anchorman Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen out almost a minute ahead of France. Christiansen delivered both on the trail and on the stand. Ten hits and a goal for the crowd from Christiansen put an end to the Norwegian team’s sovereignty in Austria. The anchorman also delivered a small jump on the way to the finish line. – Vetle is both a showman and an acrobat on skis, says news expert Synnøve Solemdal. He himself has no plans to replace his cross-country skis with ski jumps and large slopes. – It is questionable whether Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen, 198 centimeters and 90 kilograms with a bag on his back, does not get as much buoyancy. Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen takes plenty of time to celebrate as the Norwegian biathletes know they have secured victory.
