Biathlon: Debutant Ella Halvarsson's Self-Praise: "Shooting Like a God"

Ella Halvarsson continues to impress in Idre. After securing a fourth place yesterday, she climbed to the podium with a commendable performance. "I shoot like a god," she stated during SVT's broadcast.

Halvarsson achieved a third-place finish in the biathlon sprint in Idre. As a debutant in the national team, this accomplishment becomes even more remarkable. Key to her podium success was her prone shooting, which she confidently deemed worthy of praise.

"I shoot like a god in the prone position; it goes so well, so fast, and full," she exclaimed. SVT expert Mona Brorsson was equally impressed, noting that her shooting took just 21 seconds, categorizing it as world-class.

Will she participate in the World Cup?

"I actually think so. If she maintains this form, she should compete in the World Cup."
