The Biathlon World Cup is fast approaching and Sweden was looking for one last relay answer.
The team got a gloomy one.
The starter Peppe Femling crushed all opportunities for advanced positions when he pulled on a penalty round already in the horizontal shooting and then two more in the standing.
"Absolutely deplorable"
- Absolutely miserable.
The shape physically feels good but I can not explain the shooting.
It's so damn bad, he says.
When he entered the standing shooting range, all teams had already left the shooting range.
He admits that it made him stressed.
"Sometimes it does not work"
- Not even a quick zero is approved then and it does not make it easier.
But you should be able to disconnect and put them on anyway and do the best for the team.
But sometimes it does not work, today is such a day, says Femling.
He switched over the entire three minutes after the leader.
Sweden finished in 15th place, five minutes and 41 seconds behind France, who won the relay just under a second ahead of Norway.
