Martin Ponsiluoma took a sensational World Cup gold in the sprint on Friday.
Therefore, he went out as the first man at Sunday's hunt start, eleven and 13 seconds ahead of the Frenchmen Simon Desthieux and Emilien Jacquelin.
At the beginning of the race, the Swede would pull away and extended by a few seconds to those closest to chasing before the first shot.
But there Ponsiluoma blocked two shots and he had to go two penalty rounds immediately.
Bö barred in others
Sebastian Samuelsson, however, would shoot full and went out as sixth, 12 seconds behind Jacquelin who shot full and went out in the lead.
Ponsiluoma went out as eight, 401 seconds behind.
The Norwegian Johannes Thingnes Bö would go around the Frenchman out in the track and lead before the second lying shooter.
There Bö missed and Jacquelin took over the lead again.
Sebastian Samuelsson shot full again and went out as third.
Ponsiluoma shot away
However, Ponsiluoma would miss two more shots and his day was ruined in the hunt for new medals.
- I feel sorry for him, says shooting coach Johan Hagström after the Swede's barriers.
In the third shot, Samuelsson would once again shoot full and he went out as third before the last shot where Jacquelin led by 27 seconds down to Desthieux and Samuelsson.
However, the two Norwegians Johannes Bö and Sturla Holm Laegreid would each block a shot and were over 40 seconds behind the leading Frenchman.
The last shot decided
When it was time for the last shot, Jacquelin would excel where he could shoot full speed quickly and could relatively easily take home the gold.
But behind that, Sebastian Samuelsson would also shoot full, which Bö also did and he went out nine seconds behind the Swede.
However, Bö would catch up with Samuelsson relatively quickly and they were side by side in the battle for the silver.
There, Samuelsson would be the strongest and sprint down the Norwegian and take the World Cup silver.
