Tiril Eckhoff led from start to finish in the start of the women’s hunt at Hochfilzen. But she wasn’t particularly nervous before the decisive shooting.

– I was more nervous when they caught me again and spent a little more time shooting. I felt like it was strong to keep my focus, especially since I wasn’t as alert as yesterday, Eckhoff tells VG.
On the last shot, Eckhoff entered lone majesty and had nearly a penalty round to go on.
But oddly enough, he had no plans to do so, cutting all five down, with a lying punch on the last shot, and came out over half a minute ahead of Hanna Öberg.
On the backcourt, no one can do anything with Eckhoff during the day and so he claimed his third win of the season with 19 of 20 possible hits, and the second of two possible at the Austrian Hochfilzen.
In horizontal shooting, Eckhoff has struggled this season, but he has broken some codes and had nine hits on both horizontal shots.
– It took me a bit to lie down and go back a bit to where I was last year. I have a bit of shit in my self confidence, now I’ll just try to automate the lying shots, says Eckhoff.
When he then chose to fire all ten flashes while standing, no one could do anything about the Fossum runner.
It was a real rat race over the other places on the podium. Older sister Öberg captured second place, while Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold, Elvira Öberg and Dorothea Wierer battled for third place.
But the latter fell in the final round and little sister Öberg beat Tandrevold in the battle for third place.
