There was fog on the track for a long time, so a lot of misses for almost biathletes should not be surprised.
Sebastian Samuelsson had the last starting number, and kept the intrigue until the final shooting, where Czech Tomas Mikyska was in the lead, who was more than a minute to everyone ahead, due to accurate shooting (only one mistake). But Samuelsson took the lead in the final lap and didn't miss the advantage.
Third place took Jesper Nelin, with 5 mistakes.
