It was very difficult conditions in Oberhof with wind, snowfall and fog and there were lots of barriers in the shooting and heavy tracks.
Sebastian Samuelsson pulled on two booms in the first horizontal shooter.
- He shot in extremely strong wind, it was difficult, and his missed shot slipped out to the right, says shooting coach Johan Hagström.
He got it on the standing shooter, where he chose to stand on the far left, and shot full.
But the skiing was at its peak and he lost a lot in the track.
Martin Ponsiluoma shot away directly with three booms in the first horizontal shot, all scattered but just outside the board.

It was still heavy for Ponsiluoma who finished on five booms.
Johannes Thingnes Bö also shot away with three booms in the first horizontal shot.
The competition is ongoing.
