Philip Lindkvist Fløtten won three medals at last year's Junior World Championships, one of them gold, and made his World Cup debut in Holmenkollen. On the back of those results, he earned a place on the A national team.
At Sweden's season-opening short-distance event in Idre on Saturday, Lindkvist Fløtten impressed, missing just one shot and finishing second. Tobias Arwidson came third.
I hope I get to race in Kontiolahti (the World Cup season opener), but tomorrow is another day, says the Swedish-Norwegian talent.
Sebastian Samuelsson took the win. The 29-year-old showed his experience, shooting cleanly in the final standing stage to secure victory.
I thought it went well. I tried to start at a controlled pace. I tried not to think too much, says Samuelsson.
Philip Lindkvist Fløtten was born and raised in Norway, but has a Swedish mother and has chosen to compete for Sweden.
Three zeros and one in the last, that's absolutely wonderful. But it was tough; I had a bit of trouble in the first shooting. Actually, it was a pretty nice race, says the 20-year-old on SVT.
The sprint is scheduled for Sunday at 12:00.
