Not many people believed that the Swedish ladies would repeat the success of Saturday’s distance race when the blue and yellow skiers finished third, fourth, fifth, seventh and eleventh.
But it got better than that.
On this day, a skier in a blue-yellow suit had to climb to the top of the podium.
Hanna Öberg was able to parade towards the goal but did not.
Although the management was great Hanna Öberg never slowed down, but ran towards the finish line just behind her little sister Elvira, who was heading towards the finish line with a more modest location.
Hanna Öberg, who was seventh in the distance race, achieved her fifth victory in the World Cup and did it in eliminatory form.
Not only did she shoot flawlessly, but along with Elvira she was also the fastest on the track.
– We have done a clean job, the whole team, the levees with the skis, the shooting coaches and Johannes Lukas, who did a great job with the whole team, Öberg tells SVT in the victory interview.
Johanna Skottheim, who surprisingly came third in the distance race, started by firing squarely on the horizontal shooter.
Skottheim was one of seven skiers who made the correct 20 shots during Saturday’s distance race.
Skottheim continued to put the foot massage on as well.
When Skottheim stretched over the finish line, she had the upper hand until Mars Olsbu Røiseland was at the finish line, the Norwegian was 21 seconds faster than Skottheim.
The question was whether Skottheim could retain a place on the podium.
Hanna Öberg overtook her and Mona Brorsson was a threat for a long time but failed to make the podium but finished fifth.
But there were sharp skiers left and by the time Norwegian Karoline Knotten finished, she had pushed Skottheim to fourth place.
– I am incredibly happy with my shooting. I knew the biggest challenge was recharging, I was very nervous and with the speed to get back to a good race, says Skottheim to SVT.
