About halfway into the men's mass start in Antholz, a then faultless Sebastian Samuelsson sniffed a top position.
But he got stuck in a track marker.
- I lost a little there, says Sebastian Samuelsson.
Watch the event in the player above.
Samuelsson missed only two shots.
But he crossed the finish line 45 seconds and twelve places behind seventh-placed Jesper Nelin, who also had two misses.
- I was a bit stubborn.
I think my stomach is starting to bubble a little too, I know there has been food poisoning at our hotel.
It is not so good.
- It's not that dangerous, but I feel like it's starting to bubble a little.
The Biathlon World Cup begins on the seventh of February.
