“Lucky to get only one penalty”

Christiansen enjoyed returning to his anchor position on the World Cup relay team and was thrilled with a single prone penalty. “It was a lot of fun. I missed that feeling, fighting with Sebbe and Eric on the last loop, last shooting. It looked like I might shoot alone in standing but then the wind turned and I did not know where I was. I was lucky to only get one penalty loop (in prone). I pushed hard in the second loop to maybe have one spare shot advantage. Cold as ice on the last shooting was nice!”

In standing, “a new race”

As for that last standing, “I just thought this is a new race, a new shooting. I am still leading. I had maybe one spare bullet on both Sebbe and Eric and that’s quite good. I just felt good, breathe a lot because I was quite calm when I entered the range, started breathing and it was a nice one-by-one shot.”
