- It's really fun. I am surprised, did not think that I would divide pallets with one and two from last season's overall World Cup. I've been nervous the last few weeks because I know the capacity has been there, ”says Andersson smilingly to NRK.
Andersson, who has a Norwegian coach, is not sure to go in the World Cup but hopes that today's race will have left an impression.
- I hope they catch a little eye, it's always good to get a good start.
It took a skater in the extreme world elite to beat Andersson this premiere day in a wintry snow-safe landscape.
- I am very happy to start the season this way. The legs were a little heavy but I think they will feel lighter and lighter, says Vittozzi.
Andersson, who competes for the Norwegian club Holmenkollen Biathlon, shot fully in the sprint over 7.5 km in a large starting field with over 100 participants.
The World Cup season traditionally starts in Östersund. On November 30, it starts with relays in mixed.
