Magdalena Forsberg to keep the record: "Fun"

37-year-old Mäkäräinen was on his way to the podium at home in Kontiolahti's hunting start on Saturday but had to give up and finished in a disgraceful fourth place. There was no 86th World Cup. The tears flowed from the movement that a career that started 15 years ago was over.

Forsberg had no control over her 87 pallet placings in the World Cup (of which 42 wins) were a record.

- Kaisa managed the last hill but not on the plate afterwards. It's fun to keep a record but it was nothing I thought of, had no control over it, says Forsberg to SVT Sport.

Forsberg stuck to another circumstance about the World Cup.

- I was very surprised when I read that Dorothea Wierer was the first to defend the overall World Cup after me. I was very surprised that it was always changing every year. I won the rake for six years, ”says Forsberg, thinking of the victories in 1997-2002.

It is absolutely incredible when you think about it.

- Yes, I felt it: Oh!

How then does Forsberg think about today's active where Hanna Öberg was most successful in becoming four in the overall World Cup?

- The Swedish ladies have shown that they are incredibly strong. The gentlemen have gone back this year and have not lived up to the expectations we had for the season. It has been a really bad shooting. It was fun that Martin Ponsiluoma (eight) got on well in the last race and they also made a good relay a weekend ago. It was important for them to bring some success for the next season. It's something that's not really right.

Do you have any idea what is wrong?

- No, I haven't been so close to biathlon and worked on it. That may be an uncertainty, Forsberg thinks.
