The Swedish biathlon star thus loses important ground in the overall World Cup, where she was third before this weekend's World Cup competitions at home.

But after a 52nd place in the sprint yesterday, it was a new heavy race for Hanna Öberg in the hunt start.

She shot nine booms and was the worst of the Swedes, in 54th place.

- When she starts to block, she just goes through the race, she tries to save the strength she has, says SVT's expert Helena Ekholm.

- It is the wind that makes everything so strange, says Björn Ferry.

Elvira Öberg became best Swedish in 16th place, ahead of Mona Brorsson in 17th.

Stina Nilsson finished 22nd and became third best Swedish for the second day in a row.

At the front it was double Norwegian, Marte Olsbu Röiseland won before yesterday's sprint winner Tiril Eckhoff and the Belarusian Hanna Sola.
