Hanna Öberg was rested in order to focus on taking home the overall World Cup while Mona Brorsson was placed outside.

Then Johanna Skottheim and Anna Magnusson got the chance in a b-stressed relay team together with Elvira Öberg and Linn Persson.

Skottheim started but an okay first round, where four extra shots were required on two shots. She switched to Magnusson as six, 31 seconds after close. Magnusson made a cannon effort and made sure Elvira Öberg could finish second behind Ukraine in the third round.

- Very happy with my distance, says the 24-year-old to SVT Sport.

Shot boom

But the 21-year-old had a heavy day and suffered a boom. It ruined the blue-yellow day.

- Unfortunately, it will be a round. I do what I can and really try, but I don't want to, and it's extra sad when the other girls do so well, she says.

Linn Persson did not have that much to do on the final stretch, but did what she could. Sweden finished seven, two minutes after the winners.

Norway won before France and Germany. It was the Norwegian's sixth straight relay victory this season. The last nation to win all the relays in one season was Germany three years ago.
