Sweden had a podium feeling after the first substitution in which Elvira Öberg replaced Linn Persson as fifth, 19.7 seconds behind France.
But after Öberg’s horizontal shot, the blue-yellow jump went up in smoke. The 21-year-old was forced into a penalty shootout and collapsed on the results list.
– It was not funny. It doesn’t matter how fast you go if you need to go to the extra round and rake. It’s a shame, this relay didn’t seem like our day, Elvira Öberg tells SVT.
“You worry”
Jesper Nelin lost even more in the major nations after taking on a new round of penalties.
Peppe Femling was in charge of the last section. The 28-year-old jumped in place of Martin Ponsiluoma, who suffered from stomach pains at night and could not sleep.
– I live with Martin, so it was during the night that I started to prepare. Then I got the go-ahead at eight this morning. You know that you are a reserve and that you must be ready to jump, says and continues:
– It was boring with Martin and you worry, but now it seems cool.
Russia won
Femling managed three extra shots and finished 13th.
– It felt completely good in the body. This is not a distance that I am very happy with, he says.
The battle for victory turned into a thriller between Russia, Norway and France. After a sprint contract, Eduard Latypov was able to organize a World Cup victory for Russia against Norway and Sturla Holm Lægreid.
At 14.40 it is time for the single mixed relay for Hanna Öberg and Sebastian Samuelsson.
