Sebastian Samuelsson went 54 seconds out of the lead, but slowly but surely went up in the field.
In the end, he was in the fight for the victory and finished second.
That after on Saturday having shot away Sweden's chances of victory in the mixed relay in German Oberhof.
- I am very pleased with the revenge that Sebastian takes.
I think it is important that you can have a bad day like yesterday and then do better and be hungry.
He really was today.
He was determined and very focused.
He was not affected by what the others were up to.
It is world class, says Johannes Lukas.
The Swedes are trained with the Olympics in mind.
Despite that, Samulesson still had the seventh best ride time in the hunt start.
- I am actually very happy with the ride shape.
You are not too far behind.
I am optimistic that it will be much better next week as well, says Lukas.
