Tilda Johansson was by far the best Swede during the Biathlon European Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

The 23-year-old picked up two silver and one bronze.

However, there has been no first place.

Until now.

After fully shooting in the sprint in the IBU Cup in Obertilliach, Austria, she was able to salvage the first victory of her career at this level.

Johansson was over half a minute ahead of Frenchwoman Sophie Chauveau, who finished second.

- I felt tired before the start today.

I planned to focus hard on the shooting range.

It worked to perfection.

It gave me my first win in the IBU Cup ever, she tells the IBU website.
