Bombs, extra shots, and penalty rounds. Sweden – with Viktor Brandt and Anna Magnusson – had a tough single mixed relay in German Oberhof.

It's clear that it's tough to lie there and shoot and shoot and shoot and bomb and bomb and bomb. It becomes a tough start, says Brandt to SVT.

The duo finished twelfth, 2.21,6 minutes after the surprising winner Finland.

Finnish Tero Seppälä and Suvi Minkkinen were 5,8 seconds ahead of France and 24,9 seconds faster than the home nation Germany.

It's incredible, so cool to celebrate a victory with a teammate, says Minkkinen to SVT.
