Swedish ski talent Leo Johansson did not get a full hit at the Olympics in Beijing.
He finished 37th in the skiathlon and 39th in the mass start.
On Thursday, he took revenge.
"Very nice"
The 22-year-old stood for an impressive race over 15 kilometers in the men's U23 WC and took silver.
- Very nice with a medal.
I have been here six times but have not succeeded before, so it means a lot, he says to SVT Sport.
Johansson was 6.7 seconds behind the winner Arsu Ruuskanen.
The Swede started hot and had to toil.
- I started tough, so my second lap was hard.
But I came back strong.
