Sebastian Samuelsson missed out on a WC medal – after a rough split second

Full shooting. But not fast enough riding.

Sebastian Samuelsson challenged for a long time for a WC medal in the sprint over 10 km – but had to settle for a preliminary fifth place.

Afterwards, he was very pleased with his shooting:

– Best when it matters, says Samuelsson to SVT.

The competition in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic, was otherwise a Norwegian success story with three riders at the top: The winner Sturla Holm Lægreid who won ahead of second Johannes Thingnes Bø and third Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen.
