In her 94th World Cup race, Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold finally got her first World Cup winner.
The 24-year-old dominated the Norwegians’ wind better in today’s joint outing in Östersund and came out second after the latest shootout.
It didn’t take long to catch up with the six seconds to leader Dzinara Alimbekava.
In the end, she was seven seconds ahead of the Belarusian and 11 seconds ahead of Franziska Preuss, and that with five booms.
– It feels absolutely fantastic and completely raw. Today I just had to run “pretend” until you get it. “” I lost all confidence in yesterday’s shooting, and today I just had to “shoot” and pretend I could do this, Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold tells NRK.
– It means a huge amount
Today’s victory was enough to also win the joint start cup, as seven of the eight ahead of him on the list failed in the last race. Franziska Preuss got the job done but finished just three points behind Landmark, which received 100,000 crowns for the outright winner and 150,000 crowns for today’s top spot.
– There are many ups and downs, but luckily I have a goldfish memory and I always find something new, Tandrevold tells NRK about ups and downs along the way.
He claims that it is the best season in his history.
– Now I just have to get home and let my head free a bit and relax a bit. I hope I don’t get a completely golden feeling about this, because I’d like to take this with me further, she says.
– It was great to see Ingrid finally succeed and get that victory, says NRK expert Emil Hegle Svendsen.
– This means a lot to her. It’s a vitamin shot that shouldn’t be underestimated until next season.

Landmark had nine podium spots before the World Cup winner arrived today.
Tiril Eckhoff was the second best Norwegian with his seventh place, Emilie Kalkenberg ranked tenth.
France’s Julia Simon, who led the joint start cup before Sunday’s race, had already ruined her career on the first shot. He started with four booms, got five on the second shot, three on the third, and three on the last. Thus, he finished last of the 30 in the field.
Mars Olsbu Røiseland was 10 times in the penalty rounds and finished penultimate.
