At the end a second was missing: What a shame! Swiss mixed relay team misses out on World Cup medal

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

The Swiss mixed team finished fourth at the start of the Biathlon World Cup.

Only in the last lap did Amy Baserga have to let the Swedish world champion Elvira Öberg sprint past her. The wait for a medal at a World Cup will still take a while for the Swiss, but the form is clearly right.

No one from the Swiss quartet is left out, from the first shooting they are always in the top 4. The Swiss excel especially at the shooting range in the Czech rain. Starting runner Sebastian Stalder makes no mistakes, the recently ill Niklas Hartweg makes only one mistake, Lena Häcki-Gross misses two goals but moves up to second place as a strong runner and Amy Baserga is flawless.

Baserga returns to action for the first time and keeps her nerves under control. On the home straight she comes dangerously close to Öberg again, but can no longer win the medal. In the end, the favorite countries, which are slightly stronger on the cross-country trails, made one mistake too few.

Swiss women’s coach Sandra Flunger sums up the competition aptly: “There remains a bit of tears in the eyes, but a lot of pride in the team.” (SDA)
