- I am satisfied with nine hits, flow with one edge into a standstill.
The skiing did not feel good, was a bit sluggish, it was very difficult today and you had to work all the time.
Did not have the clip but it is a good starting point for the hunt, Ponsiluoma told SVT before his placement was ready.
He had an eleventh place as best earlier this winter.
- He has a sniper on the podium, said Björn Ferry during the broadcast when Ponsiluoma's time gradually grew in the 119-man starting field.
Ponsiluoma came to the second standing shooter with a boom.
He then got down all five paintings in portrait after some drama.
The fourth was an edge shot and he waited a long time before the fifth board was fought down.
- It was almost like a ricochet, says SVT Sports expert Björn Ferry about the edge shot.
Ponsiluoma lost quite a lot in the sprint lap, 14.6 seconds for example against the German Johannes Kühn, before he reached the goal in the Austrian biathlon resort.
Kühn barked and took his first victory in the World Cup from starting number 9.
- I did a good job and my skiing was really good.
I like the track here, says Kühn.

Here is Ponsiluoma's sprint race
Samuelsson blocked his very first shot and had an edge into the last in lying.
There were then two barriers for him in standing and three in total, which kept him away from the crowded places.
Samuelsson did not manage to take his third straight sprint victory in the World Cup but was far behind.
He has to go out 44.8 seconds in the hunt start.
