2+2, 2+2 and 2+1. The standing shooting ruined Sweden's men's World Cup showing in Nove Mesto, and their Olympic qualification. "Of course I wanted a better result," says Sebastian Samuelsson, who was the top Swede, finishing 13th in the mass start.

Samuelsson, Martin Ponsiluoma and Jesper Nelin were in contention for the top spots. Then came the misses in the standing shooting - and the trio dropped down the results list.

I would have liked to perform better this weekend, but things look good ahead of the Olympics, Samuelsson tells SVT.

Frenchman Éric Perrot was sharper in the shooting, winning ahead of Campbell Wright, USA, and Sverre Dahlen Aspenes from Norway. Perrot takes over the overall lead from Italian Tommaso Giacomel.

Nelin finished 16th, Ponsiluoma 17th and Malte Stefansson 20th.

Corrected version: In a previous version, the wrong location was stated for Ponsiluoma.
