Tiril Eckhoff won the Norwegian Jubilee Day:

Eckhoff shot down 20 of 20 flashes for the second time in his career and climbed from eighth to victory.

Olsbu Røiseland missed the last place, but won the duel on the track against Sweden’s Hannah Öberg in the last round, and secured the Norwegian double.

Sweden’s Hannah Öberg took the lead after winning the sprint earlier this week.

– I have fought a lot this week, but I have received very good help from the team and I have worked well with my head. Now I understand that it is fun to act even if there are no people here, Eckhoff told NRK afterwards.

Said of a lunde

Landmark Tandrevold was the third best Norwegian in sixth place, but she was right behind Eckhoff in the third shootout, where she thinks NRK expert Ola Lunde ruined her.

– I have to pick up a hen with Ola Lunde. Because when you’ve been in the biathlon circus for as long as he has, you know that the stand is a quiet area. But when Tiril shot a full house in first position, I had to take my first shot again. What he screamed echoed throughout the stadium, making him tremble. Well it was the last day, because I think they would get him a yellow card. That today we do not get three on the podium we have to blame Ola Lunde, Tandrevold told NRK, the last one with a twinkle in his eye.

Later, Tandrevold posted a story on Instagram that said with a smile on his face:

Ola Lunde has yet to comment on the scheme and did not respond to Dagbladet’s inquiry, but it was defended by NRK expert Ole Kristian Stoltenberg.

– We should apologize, but also think that we should blame Ola. It’s a problem that arises without the audience when it’s completely silent, Stoltenberg said.

Strong pickup

Olsbu Røiseland started just over half a minute behind, while Tiril Eckhoff started the minute behind the Swede.

They took the lead and, before the last shot, they went in together.

Both Olsbu Røiseland and Öberg missed there, while Eckhoff fired smoothly, as he had on the previous three shots. For the second time in her career in a 20-stroke drill, according to herself in an interview with NRK.

– It’s absolutely amazing, shouted NRK commentator Andreas Stabbrun Smith.

In the final round, she was able to calmly step into victory, while her teammate Olsbu Røiseland passed from Öberg behind and secured Norwegian’s double. Also, Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold was number six.

Revenge

A rematch for the Norwegian team, after a miserable relay effort on Saturday.

Eckhoff, who won all seven races last season, has had a disappointing start to the season but finally got a boost.

– It was a matter of time before he managed to turn it around, with the level he was at and what he has shown in training, said Ola Lunde.
