Elvira Öberg started the pursuit as eleventh – but made a huge comeback. After two misses and strong skiing, she worked her way up to a second place in the women's pursuit at the World Championship finals in Holmenkollen. It was just a matter of gritting one's teeth, says the 26-year-old to SVT after her eighth podium finish for the season.
SportsWith the victory in the pursuit, Norwegian Sturla Holm Lægreid secured the win in the overall World Championship. Thus, Lægreid ruined the party for teammate Johannes Thingnes Bø, who is ending his career after the biathlon World Championship final in Holmenkollen.
SportsJohannes Thingnes Bø got the best possible start to his farewell weekend in the World Cup. The Norwegian won the sprint in front of the home crowd in Holmenkollen.
SportsMartin Ponsiluoma dropped out when things were at their worst in the bad weather in Slovenian Pokljuka – but it didn't stop him from flying ahead on the track. The Swede took the season's first individual podium place when he finished third in the distance race. "I've been fighting hard for this," he says to SVT.
SportsIt was a highly dramatic ending to the Biathlon World Championship in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. Two Swedes were involved when everything was to be decided in the mass start – but failed to keep their shooting together. I lose focus, says Jesper Nelin to SVT.
SportsIn the very last World Championship relay for the Bø brothers, Norway delivered a dominant performance in the Biathlon World Championship. The gold medal became their last in a championship context together.
SportsNow Johannes Thingnes Bø is the greatest biathlete of all time in World Championship contexts. He won the sprint in Lenzerheide, which gave him a 21st World Championship gold, one more than the legend Ole Einar Bjørndalen. It means a lot, says the Norwegian.
SportsCan Sebastian Samuelsson repeat last year's success? Will Elvira Öberg find her form after the illness? And will Norwegian legend Johannes Thingnes Bø get a dream finish in his last championship? Here's everything you need to know ahead of the Biathlon World Championship.
SportsA fine breadth – but without that real top. This is how the Swedish performance can be summed up in the men's biathlon pursuit. Then Sebastian Samuelsson promises better results in the World Championship that awaits. I'm going to the World Championship to win medals, he says to SVT.
SportsMartin Ponsiluoma was on his way to the season's first podium place in Friday's World Cup sprint in Antholz. But then he missed the last two shots. Hope I'll hit them at the World Championship instead, says the Swedish biathlete.
SportsIt lived all the way. But in the end, Sebastian Samuelsson had to give up in the battle for the podium spots, and finished fourth in Sunday's mass start in the Biathlon World Cup. I can just as well win a day like this, he says in SVT.
SportsElvira Öberg offered a crazy revenge in the pursuit. The Swedish men were not close to anything similar. It was the first shot that was bad, says Martin Ponsiluoma, who became tenth and best Swedish in German Oberhof.
SportsFive mistakes ruined Sebastian Samuelsson's hunt for a new podium spot. The Swede finished fifth in the biathletes' pursuit in Le Grand Bornand. I'm satisfied with the result, but disappointed with the performance, he says to SVT.
SportsJohannes Thingnes Bø has dominated biathlon for a decade. On Saturday, the Norwegian's 87th World Cup victory came – after some drama. Now he is greater than Stenmark.
SportsNine straight shots landed where they should. Not the tenth. Sebastian Samuelsson had to settle for sixth place in the sprint in Hochfilzen. It's clear that it's frustrating. "Last little one, if I had hit it I would have won instead," he says to SVT.
SportsMartin Ponsiluoma missed three shots directly, Sebastian Samuelsson two. That's how you ruin a World Cup competition already at the first visit to the shooting range. This is just something to forget and move on, says Ponsiluoma to SVT.
