Before today's competition, Stina Nilsson had at best been 22nd in the IBU Cup after a nice development curve.

Today it could have been better than that, but after a fast ride and a boom lying down, she had the chance.

Three booms in the standing shot, however, ruined those chances and the Swede touched her personal best and finished just 22nd.

Her riding time, which commuted during the season, on the other hand, was the fastest of all in the 92-rider starting field.
