Ten degrees Celsius and rain. The Swedes didn't seem to enjoy the stormy weather in Estonia.

Stars Sebastian Samuelsson and Martin Ponsiluoma fell out of contention in the first shooting stage. However, Samuelsson shot perfectly in the final shooting stage.

For Olympic pursuit gold medalist Ponsiluoma, things were even tougher. The 30-year-old was a full minute and 53 seconds away from victory and finished 39th.

Frustrating. Just very bad, Ponsiluoma tells SVT.

Norwegian Sturla Holm Lægreid won ahead of France's Émilien Jacquelin and Germany's Philipp Nawrath.
