Sweden failed to defend the bronze in the mixed relay from the 2021 Biathlon World Cup.

When the Oberhof WC started, it was a Swedish ninth place - after Sebastian Samuelsson was forced to three penalty rounds on the prone shooting.

Afterwards he was distressed, and did not know why.

- Something has happened with the weapon, it must be so, he said to SVT Sport.

And so it was, he explained a couple of hours later on Instagram,.

“After the race, it turned out that the screws holding the rifle to the stock were loose.

I continue to trust in my own capacity and have already started looking forward to Saturday's sprint!”, he sneered.
