Elvira Öberg’s medal is Sweden’s first in this year’s biathlon World Cup.
Franziska Pruss won the competition and was able to finish with the German flag in hand. But behind, Elvira Öberg and Justine Braisaz-Bouchet sprinted about the other medals. A fight that Öberg won. The silver to Sweden and the bronze to France.
– Absolutely perfect by Elvira. Just according to the school book, says SVT Sports expert Björn Ferry.
Öberg started with three flawless shooting series. On the fourth and last shooting she had a boom. But it was still enough to take a medal.
A medal that is Sweden’s first individual in two years. In last year’s World Cup, in Nove Mesto, there was no one. It is also Elvira Öberg’s first individual medal at a World Cup.
– It is clear that I have been waiting for it a bit. I know I can and have my medals from the Olympics. But I have had some disruption at the World Cup. But despite a bad charge, it goes the way, she says.
Celebrates with bran
How do you celebrate?
– I think it will be bran tonight I have heard rumors about. It feels like a perfect celebration.
Anna Magnusson finished seven, Ella Halvarsson nine and Hanna Öberg eleven.
