After two second places, the first World Cup victory of the season came for Mars Olsbu Røiseland, who also takes the lead in the World Cup overall.
– It means a lot! “I had a good start to the season, but I missed the top and the victory,” Røiseland tells SVT.
It was exciting on the last shoot of the start of the hunt for women in Austrian Hochfilzen.
Olsbu Røiseland came in with a big lead, but the last shot went wide and he had to do it in the penalty round.
– I was about to screw it up on the last shot so I had to do everything I had and it was stressful. It was a good feeling, it’s the first time I’ve gotten a yellow start number, says Røiseland.
Chaser Dzinara Alimbekava shot full house but still trailed behind, and Olsbu Røiseland increased the lead on goal. Røiseland started as number four, but was quick to show that she had no intention of staying off the podium.
Thus, he also takes over Hanna Öberg’s yellow leader jersey.

Karoline Knotten completed a masterful hunting start with twenty hits and rose from 29th to 5th.
Tiril Eckhoff had the best starting point of the Norwegian women, but already on the first shot she missed three of five shots and lost every opportunity to fight for the top positions.
– It doesn’t flow at all. That sucks, really. I don’t know exactly what to do with horizontal shooting, he tells SVT.

With a total of six booms, she was a disappointing 17th place, while Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold finished 19th with four rounds of penalties. The two Norwegian profiles have 81 and 84 respectively in percentage of hits so far this season.
– It started well with shooting landscapes and I was good on the track, but I am getting more and more desperate for shooting standing up. My flashes don’t go down and now I lose more and more faith. Right now I’m a little sad, he tells SVT.
The case is being updated!
