Sweden's elite in biathlon kicked off the SC with a roller ski race yesterday, without a rifle - where Martin Ponsilouma won.

When it was time for the short distance (15 km) in the Roller Ski Shooting Championship, the top duo were the same again.

Ponsiluoma won, despite four misses, ahead of Samuelsson and third was Peppe Femling.

"Was a real discharge"

- Yesterday's race was a real discharge, so the legs didn't respond like they did yesterday.

I rode fast in the end, but it was a struggle, says Ponsiluoma in Sportexpress's broadcast.

Going into the final lap, after a quick zero, Ponsiluoma led by three seconds, and a strong finish secured victory by eleven seconds.

Tomorrow is a sprint.

- You will probably find me in the loose weight shelf in the store, he says and laughs.

- I will try to gain energy and make sure I am charged at the start.
