Stina Nilsson started the distance race in the EC with fast skating and full shooting.

Before the fourth and last shooting, she had a total of two misses and a close call.

But even though it was windless, she missed four shots.

With a total of six minutes added time, she was far behind the top racers.

- You can clearly see that the shooting is absolutely not working right now.

I hope she can turn it around for the sprint, says Elisabeth Höglund in SVT's broadcast.

After weak results, Stina Nilsson did not get the chance in the WC, which starts soon, and therefore competes in the EC instead.

The best Swede in the competition was Tilda Johansson who had a chance on the podium but missed two shots in the third shooting.
