After Friday's WC sprint, the medal chances were great before today's start of the hunt in biathlon.
Hanna Öberg and Linn Persson had to start the race in second and third respectively - and it also started well for the Swedes.
In the first shooting, only Hanna Öberg had a bar of all four participating Swedish skaters.
In addition, leading Denise Herrmann-Wick also had a boom.
But then the Swedes had a nightmare shooting.
Hanna Öberg, Linn Persson and Anna Magnusson all had two misses each, which led to them losing significantly at the start of the chase.
"Many who fail"
- There are many who fail.
It is not good, notes SVT Sports expert Björn Ferry.
However, the Swedes were not the only ones who had problems with shooting in foggy Oberhof.
No skater shot full, and silver medalist Denise Herrmann-Wick had a total of four misses.
Julia Simon, who started ninth, took home the victory.
It was her first individual championship medal.
Linn Persson became the best Swede and finished tenth in the race.
Hanna Öberg finished twelfth, Mona Brorsson finished in 15th place and Anna Magnusson in 18th place.
