The ÖSV quartet was in sixth place for a long time, but Jakob incurred two penalties in the last shooting and lost two more places. The Austrians finished fourth in the first relay race of the season in Östersund. Simon Eder, who was ill this time, was there at the time.
The women’s relay competition is still on the program in the afternoon, and the Austrians can hope for a strong result after their recent performances. The race can be seen live on ORF1 and in the live stream from 2:15 p.m.
