In Sunday's pursuit over 12.5 kilometers, the Swedes Martin Ponsiluoma, Jesper Nelin, and Sebastian Samuelsson finished in ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth place. Ponsiluoma, who started as 27th after a failed sprint, advanced 18 positions. He was still 1:36 behind the winner and one minute from a podium spot.
I'm really picking up speed and making a great race today. It's a big difference from yesterday. It means a lot, says Martin Ponsiluoma to SVT.
Norwegian star Johannes Thingnes Bø took his second World Championship gold in as many days. Just like in Saturday's sprint, he won ahead of 22-year-old sensation Campbell Wright, from New Zealand with American parents. Eric Perrot, France, took bronze.
