It was a noticeably disappointed and frustrated Peppe Femling who stopped at SVT's interview microphone after his second leg during the World Cup relay in Antholz.
Three misses in total, and even if Femling made the last extra shot, it took a long time.
- It's probably as usual for myself.
It's amazing how difficult it can be when self-confidence is completely at rock bottom.
But I think I had strength left on the last lap, that's positive, as well as the prone shooting which works overall during the season.
What happens in the standing shooting then? You start by shooting full in the horizontal position, doesn't the table give you a boost?
- Yes (laughter).
I've done that in every single relay before.
But standing is a big problem right now and it's really frustrating.
"Not obvious that I will be selected"
How do you feel about a WC relay if it continues to be like this?
- I don't think it is obvious that I will be selected in view of this.
Now I have to go home and solve the mystery, says Femling.
Sweden finished fourth and was two minutes and 38 seconds behind victorious Norway, who won ahead of France in second and Germany in third.
The WC in German Oberhof starts on February 8 and is broadcast on SVT.
