Stina Nilsson did not get to shoot in the sprint in the IBU Cup in Sjusjøen, Norway.
One boom in the horizontal shot was followed by three booms in the vertical.
That was enough for a 26th place.
The former longitude star, on the other hand, convinced in the track.
She had the best ride of all - barely half a second faster than the Frenchwoman Sophie Chauveau.
Best Swedish was 22-year-old Ella Halvarsson in 12th place.
Stina Nilsson got the chance in the World Cup in Östersund last weekend where she finished 43rd and 55th.
In Wednesday's super sprint in the IBU Cup, Nilsson finished 19th after eight booms.
