There was confusion during Linn Gestblom's first shooting in a biathlon relay. After a significant edge hit, she began to reload and aim again, only to see that the shot had hit. SVT expert Mona Brorsson said it was a miss.
Gestblom delivered a stable first leg in the relay and shot clean, but one shot was such an edge hit that the white disc, which signals a hit, barely came up. This shocked SVT commentators Ola Bränholm and Mona Brorsson. Before Gestblom saw that she had shot clean, she had loaded a reserve shot and aimed again.

When she looked at the target, she saw five white discs and could continue. Gestblom said she thought it was a missed shot and that it looked black still, so she reloaded, but when she was about to shoot again, it was white. Shooting coach Jean-Marc Chabloz was more convinced of what he had seen, saying it was five hits, but it was an edge hit on the last one, and the disc went up so slowly that she thought it was a miss.
