She has previously been fifth as the best, but today, 156 individual starts later, Mona Brorsson landed her first podium place.
She finished third in the distance competition in Antholz.
- It is big.
Above all, it is very gratifying for Mona Brorsson that she gets to be on the podium for the first time in her career.
After such a long career, after so many chances.
She has been close and stood on the last stand and it has not worked.
But now she got it, says SVT Sports expert Björn Ferry.
The expert believes that the key was that she kept the last shot.
- Above all, it was that there were not three or four booms, only one.
She held the whole competition together, mainly that last shooter.
A little surprising also that she does it at the high altitude that she usually has problems with.
"More random"
Why did it come now?
- It's probably more coincidence.
This could have happened five years ago but it just has not happened.
Therefore, it feels extra big.
I believe that everyone, competitors, colleagues and leaders, treat Brorsson to this success.
She is simply ready, this is her best season so far.
She has had a lot of success, but it is this podium that is missing.
Now it was a good situation, when some of the best were not with.
What does this mean for the Olympics?
- I think it was important that she succeeded in that last shot.
There will be pressured situations at the Olympics as well, both in the individual races and in the relays.
Now I think she feels that she is there, that the form was so good in terms of riding without any major adjustment.
She will probably find an even better form of riding at the Olympics.
