Double Öberg on the podium.
Then the emotions overflowed.
– It feels absolutely fantastic, says Hanna, 25, who posted her second consecutive sprint win.
– I’m very happy, says Elvira, 21, who reached the first podium of her career.
Hanna Öberg has had a good start to the season. In last week’s premiere, he scored the first sprint victory of his career. It also meant an early advantage in the overall World Cup position, after which in today’s sprint he came to the start in the yellow-red leader’s vest, also for the first time in his career.
Then it became a new hit.
Öberg shot flawlessly on both shots, which was enough for the victory.
– It feels absolutely fantastic. My feeling on the shooting range right now … I’m really safe there. I feel so confident. You have to be humble as a biathlete, but I feel very strong right now. I’m in an incredibly good place mentally, he says on SVT.
Elvira’s first podium
And Hanna didn’t become the only Swede on the podium. She was joined by her little sister.
– Very funny! Elvira really deserved it. We train together all the time, so I know how strong he is. I really have to fight to keep her behind me, says Hanna.
Elvira, four years younger, launched a boom, but made one sensationally strong final lap, which was enough for a third place, her first podium place in her career.
– After the last shot, they told me I had a margin of five seconds and I thought: “Me. can don’t leave this, I should take it. “I was so dumb on the last hill, it was so hard, but I know I’m strong so it was just biting, she says.
“So happy”
She and Hanna did the TV interview on SVT together. Then the emotions overflowed.
– I think mom and dad have a hard time staying together emotionally in front of the TV right now. And I also. It feels so heavenly good. I’m really happy for Elvira’s sake, says Hanna.
Elvira yes:
– I’m so happy! I have known that I am strong and have potential, but achieving it this way… it is such a wonderful feeling.
The victory means Hanna extends her World Cup lead overall. This was his sixth VC victory in his career.
