– When standing up, the magazine didn’t go all the way. I fired a blank first and had to start over. For some reason, I didn’t feel like the magazine didn’t go all the way. You can hear a sound from it, but you can usually also feel it with your finger. Care is required, Eder updated in an interview with Yle.
All five Finns made it to Sunday’s pursuit race.
Among the Finns, the one who shot zeros was the best on the bench Venla Lehtonen. He finished 40th.
Suvi Minkkinen shot only one miss and was 27th. Nastassia Kinnunen marked one bomb at both shooting locations. The ranking was 43rd.
