Johanna Skottheim cried for joy after fourth place in the hunting start in Ruhpolding. She finished in 13th place earlier this week but before that she had a 42nd place as the best result in the World Cup.

Today, she took another step - and finished in an impressive fourth place.

- She has not had so many chances because there has been a strong women's team in recent years. And it is probably even stronger this year but now she has got the chance and as she has taken it. She has entered the World Cup team, she is definitely there, says SVT Sports expert Björn Ferry.

Sweden had three top riders in the top five in today's hunt. Hanna Öberg finished third and Linn Persson fifth.

"We have never had such a strong women's generation in biathlon," says Ferry.
