France with Quentin Fillon Maillet and Lou Jeanmonnot secured the gold ahead of Italy’s Tommaso Giacomel and Lisa Vittozzi. Norway had to settle for the bronze. It is Norway’s worst result in pairs relay in the context of the WC. Norway has three gold and one silver from previous championships. – A medal is a medal. In the pairs relay, anything can happen and we showed ourselves from a good side, says Patrick Oberegger to news. – How do you think Ingrid (Landmark Tandrevold) is now? – We focus on the positive things and go into the next competition and try to be one notch better than today, Oberegger continues.

But Tandrevold, who has struggled with just that for large parts of the championship, had to go out in the penalty round after three misses. Senses an emptiness – It tastes very good with a bronze. I don’t recognize myself. I have no feeling either positive or negative. I think I’m empty standing here. I have nothing to answer, says Tandrevold to news after the race. – Is that a bit unfamiliar to you? – Yes. That’s it. I don’t know, she continues. The new bronze winner also points out that she has been hanging on to all the negativity for almost a week and a half. Something she has no intention of continuing with, she emphasizes further.

But Thingnes Bø also did not skate flawlessly during Thursday’s competition, which had to use as many extra shots on four misses. – One of the two burst. It was a shame that she wasn’t French, but in total Ingrid only uses three extra shots. If you include a small penalty round, then there are four effective and it is the same as I used. We were just as good today and then it ended with bronze, says Thingnes Bø to news. Having struggled throughout the championship, Tandrevold has described standing shooting during the WC as both easy and difficult. At the start of the hunt on Sunday, three misses in a standing series, for the fourth time in a row in the championship, was the highlight. She nevertheless got a boost when she filled up in the last series, after receiving a message from trainer Siegfried Mazet on the way into the stand.

Then I do it, and it works much better, Tandrevold told news after the start of the hunt. But for a long time it seemed that everything was right for Norway’s leading female biathlete during today’s pairs relay. Intense duel Thingnes Bø, who started the ball for Norway, had two misses and used a corresponding extra shot in his first leg. This allowed him to send Tandrevold out behind France in the lead. Tandrevold coped with the pressure lying down and, like French Lou Jeanmonnot, got all the flashes straight down. But it was primarily Tandrevold’s standing shooting that caused great excitement. But still she got all the winks down. So did France – again. Johannes Thingnes Bø honors the gold winners. Thus, there was to be an intense duel between the two nations. Because both Quentin Fillon Maillet and Thingnes Bø had to use two extra shots each, on their last standing shooting. Jeanmonnot and Tandrevold skated almost in sync on the last lie down. But when France nailed it with a shot, Tandrevold got a lead of 3.6 seconds. But in the end Tandrevold was missed three times, who had to go to the penalty round. When the Fossum girl was in the penalty round, Vitozzi filled. She did, however, make up for it, but the Italian had more strength and responded with a push towards the goal. And thus lost gold and silver for Norway.
