Peppe Femling, 29, went out on the first line for the Swedish men's relay team in biathlon during the Olympics in Beijing.

In the first shot, it was a barrier for Femling, who only needed an extra shot before he could go out on the track again.

In the standing shot, Femling shot two booms and needed to use all three of his extra shots to avoid a penalty round, something that Norway and Sturla Holm Laegreid did not succeed in and went out 20 seconds behind Sweden.

"Terribly tough today"

At the first change, however, Laegreid had eaten into almost the entire distance to Femling and both nations changed about 40 seconds behind the Russian team, which did best during the first leg.

- It's terribly tough today again.

It is something other than home conditions.

Snow, wind and cold, says Peppe Femling in Discovery + broadcast.

Jesper Nelin, 29, on the Swedish second leg had a hard time on the mat in the horizontal shot. 

Nelin was on the mat for over a minute, using all the extra shots, but it was a penalty round for Nelin and Sweden, which went out 1.43 after Aleksandr Loginov in the Russian team.

In the second shot, Nelin shot a boom, but only needed an extra shot to make his fifth hit.

"Has zero feeling in the fingers"

Nelin then switched to Martin Ponsiluoma, 26, 2.06 after the Russian team.

Ponsiluoma immediately got into trouble and needed all three of their extra shots to get all the points in the horizontal shot.

In standing shooting, however, he used only one extra shot.

Johannes Thingnes Bö made a strong third leg for Norway;

went out as sixth, took in over a minute on the Russian team and then switched to Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen as third, 43 seconds behind the Russians.

Ponsiluoma switched to Sebastian Samuelsson, 24, 1.56 after the Russian team.

- I'm so incredibly disappointed in lying down;

have zero feeling in my hands, do not even feel that I am holding the gun.

I tried to blow my finger in the middle of the series and try to hold in the middle.

But it is not easy, says Jesper Nelin in Discovery + broadcast.

Sebastian Samuelsson shot full in the horizontal shot and went well in the track, but Russian Eduard Latypov looked hard to beat and went out of the seventh shot 50 seconds ahead of Norway, now in second place.

Before the last shot, Latypov entered the embankment in solitary majesty, but did not relieve the pressure and finally had to run two penalty rounds.

Now it was between Norway, Germany and France, all at the same time on the dike.

Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen shot full and fast and went out 21 seconds ahead of France.

Then it was no match for Christiansen who went home the gold to Norway.
