With three races left, Elvira Öberg was second in the overall World Cup, 82 points behind leader Marte Olsbu Röiseland.
But in today's sprint, Elvira Öberg blocked three shots at the first, lying down, shooting, and the starting position thus deteriorated very much.
- Sad.
There, the chance for the overall World Cup disappeared, stated SVT Sports expert Björn Ferry after the shooting.
- I read the wind wrong, quite simply.
I think I'll end up on the left and screw on the right.
But then I hear that all the barriers ended up on the right.
It was sour, says Elvira Öberg to SVT Sport.
"Not the best"
Hanna Öberg's horizontal shooting was even worse than her little sister's.
She blocked four shots.
- It was not the best they could have done, stated shooting coach Johan Hagström, who did not think that the external conditions were the explanation for the failure:
- I think it's that you start to get a little tired.
And so it's the last weekend, so maybe it's a little nervous too.
Over half a minute after
Things went better for the Öberg sisters on the horizontal shot.
Elvira Öberg shot full there, and Hanna Öberg blocked "only" one shot.
But the distance to the lead was too great, and in the finish Elvira Öberg was just over 1.30 behind Tiril Eckhoff, who looked to win when most of the top riders went to the finish.
Hanna Öberg was just under a minute behind.
Marte Olsbu Röiseland also did a good competition.
She missed a shot, and looks to finish third, 9.4 seconds behind Eckhoff.
Elvira Öberg looks to finish in 16th place.
Stina Nilsson is in the position in front and looks to be the best Swedish.
The competition is ongoing
