Martin Ponsiluoma and Sebastian Samuelsson both did well in the sprint in Norwegian Holmenkollen.
Ponsiluoma finished tenth and Samuelsson went all the way up on the podium, third.
But behind that, Jesper Nelin was a big disappointment.
Despite only two barriers, he was a full three minutes behind the winner Sturla Holm Lagreid in goal, in a 56th place.
In the finish line, the 29-year-old was saddened.
- You start to wonder if something is wrong.
It was really miserable.
I'm happy with the stand - up shoot, but when you go like this ... you wonder if something is wrong in the body when it does not go better than this.
It's really hard and I can not go faster.
I should be able to go a few minutes faster, he says.
- It's really frustrating.
The whole season has been halved, then you come here and then the body does not work.
However, he is nevertheless qualified to start the hunt tomorrow.
