Linn Persson, who was the safety himself in the landscape shooting, also shot fully in the torque under the baton.
When it was time for standing, things got a lot trickier because Persson shot three beams. Thanks to strong skiing, she was still able to change into third just 14.6 seconds after Lisa Vittozzi. Debutant Elvira Öberg could then take a back seat to Ingrid Landmark Trandrevold.
Despite Elvira Öberg firing a beam in the horizontal shooting, she was also able to go in a lead with 14.5 seconds ahead of France.
- Great to see, and it turns quickly. Elvira (Öberg) shot in 36 seconds with an extra shot. Very good, says SVT Sports expert Helena Ekholm.
There was also a boom in the standing shooting and Elvira Öberg went out 2.4 seconds ahead of France.
- An incredible feeling to be on track one and shoot. I knew it was tough but I managed to stay focused as the binder was on its way. It took some time but I managed to put the shots, says Elvira Öberg to SVT Sport.
When she switched to Mona Brorsson, Öberg had extended the lead to 5.5 seconds.
Brorsson started with all hits in the horizontal shooting and she went out 1.3 seconds after Tiril Eckhoff. In the ride, Brorsson dropped, but thanks to a zero shooting in the standing, she was able to get out in the lead with 6.6 seconds ahead of Aita Gasparin. Great revenge for Brorsson, who shot three beams in the last standing shoot on Thursday when she was able to take her first World Cup victory. Before the last switch to Hanna Öberg, Sweden was in the lead with 2.2 seconds as Tiril Eckhof took many seconds in the track.
Hanna Öberg then did not get it in the horizontal shooting. The Olympic and World Cup champion shot three beams. The same thing happened for Öberg, who shot away the World Cup gold in relay on home soil in March.
- I think it's nerves. It locks up because there was almost no wind, says Helena Ekholm.
In the standing shot she shot five quick hits and went out ten seconds after Marte Olsbu Röiseland. Sweden finally finished third after Lena Häcki passed Öberg. Norway won the baton.
