Hanna and Elvira Öberg, together with Linn Persson, were in charge of today's relay when they are ready for the Olympics.
Instead, they lined up with Johanna Skottheim, Stina Nilsson, Mona Brorsson and Anna Magnusson.
And that meant great success and second place.
- It is a situation that I have not trained at all today.
It's super fun when you can do it, says Anna Magnusson to SVT Sport.
Last out was Magnusson who showed proof of world-class biathlon.
She shot both quickly and accurately when she got a full-scale series after the first shot.
She sent Sweden out as second and Italy was the next nation to leave the embankment - a full minute later.
However, she lost some just before the last shot and at 21.4 km, Magnusson was 27 seconds behind French Simon.
Magnusson was then forced to an extra shot in the second shooter - which she put.
Sweden used only two extra shots (!) During the entire competition.
Mona Brorsson shot full for the first time this year and all four skiers stood for strong performances.
Stina Nilsson, who went out as a second skier and offered full shooting in the first.
In the standing shooting, it was first a barrier for Stina who then sent extra shots.
Stina Nilsson continued with a stable ride and Sweden replaced Mona Brorsson as fourth.
Brorsson's riding time kept an impressive level and when she entered the shooting range for the second shooter, she would continue her brilliance.
She shot full even there.
From there, she then pulled away from Belarus in third place and Sweden a better one
- I'm very, very happy.
My first zero-zero!
I happen to freak out one shot, so I only had four, but then I had spare shots.
Maybe it took a little trouble for me to sharpen up, says Mona Brorsson to SVT Sport.
Sweden eventually finished second in Ruhpolding.
France won after making an impressive effort right through and third was Russia.
