Full shot – again
Samuelsson was fifth off the shooting range, 29 seconds behind Johannes Thingnes Bö, who also shot squarely. Ponsiluoma was 14th, just over a minute after the lead.
During the course to the third shot, the big favorite Johannes Thingnes Bö rode with solitary majesty and was almost half a minute ahead of the nearest hunters, including Samuelsson, who fought for a second place in a group of 5-6 skiers.
First stop
Before the third shot, Samulesson had four, but he finished completely while leader Johannes Thingnes Bö had a boom. Off the shooting range, Bö’s lead had been reduced to 8.1 seconds ahead of Samuelsson.
In the last position, the two riders arrived almost simultaneously. Samuelsson missed, while Johannes Thingnes Bö fired two booms, meaning Sebastian Samuelsson left the shooting range 23 seconds before Bö and was almost able to parade to his first World Cup victory, 15.8 seconds before Fabien Claude , France, and 19, 5 seconds before Bö. Older brother Tarjei Bö shot up at an early stage and finished 12th.
– It was already great when I reached the last stage with Johannes, one of my great idols. To be able to shoot him and feel that now I have as much chance as he to win, says Sebastian Samuelsson.
Ponsiluoma left fast
For other Swedes, it was a mixed result. Martin Ponsiluoma fired 6 booms, but he was quick and finished 14th, 1.06 behind Samuelsson. Peppe Femling went from 44th to 31st and Jesper Nelin was 49th
– I lack the words. It was also great to be second last weekend, but this is something extra, says Samuelsson.
