– You drive for a medal! Screamed the Swedish leaders at Halvarsson, who shot down all 20 paintings, during the sprint lap.
Shortly after, Julia Simon came in goal and took over the lead by 38 seconds ahead of Halvarsson. From the last shooter and into the finish, the Frenchman went from a tired World Cup debut Halvarsson with 22 seconds.
Lou Jeanmonnot slipped against the goal and was looking for Halvarsson but was 1.4 seconds late and the medal was finished. However, the Jeanmonnote brought the bronze.
– Can you say yes? Ask expert Björn Ferry.
The union captain Johannes Lukas was emotionally affected.
– It is very special I have to say. Not many people had expected it and she has shown it all year. One cannot describe her journey. She was admitted to the team because of her shooting and now she stands here with a World Cup medal. It is absolutely incredible, says Lukas with the crying in the throat.
Elvira Öberg had a boom, the 19th shot, and that boom made her miss the bronze medal. She finished sixth and got to attend the flower ceremony.
