After the Olympics, the biathletes resumed the fight in the World Cup.
On Saturday, a sprint was on the program, in Kontiolahti, Finland.
Anna Magnusson, Linn Persson and Hanna Öberg shot a boom each, but the latter was the fastest of the Swedes.
After full shooting in standing, she went into second place, but was poked down pretty quickly by Tiril Eckhoff.
What she did not know then was that Stina Nilsson got up to speed.
Nilsson went fast and shot only one boom, she too.
It came in the last shot when she was on her way to a clear lead.
Despite the penalty round, she was up in second place at the end of the race, but did not have the strength all the way.
She was forced to give in to the second battle against Tiril Eckhoff, where the Norwegian was only two tenths ahead.
First podium in his career.
Water made the German Denise Herrmann.
