According to sources, Linn Gestblom shot clean, hitting all five targets, in her first shooting during the relay. However, one of the shots was such a close edge hit that the white disc, which signals a hit, barely came up. This led to confusion, with Gestblom reloading a spare shot and aiming again before seeing she had shot clean.
" Gestblom explained her perspective, saying, "I thought it was a missed shot. I thought it looked like it was still black, and reloaded simply. " Shooting coach Jean-Marc Chabloz was convinced of the outcome, stating, "It was five hits, but it's an edge hit on the last one.
That was a miss?
" The exact timing of the white disc appearing after the edge hit remains unclear. How this confusion affected the overall relay team's performance is not yet known. The official results or standings after this incident have not been disclosed as the competition continues.
I thought it was a missed shot. I thought it looked like it was still black, and reloaded simply. But when I was going to shoot again it was white.
It was five hits, but it's an edge hit on the last one. And the disc goes up so slowly, so she thought it was a miss.
