Reigning champion Martin Fourcade continued his winning start to the season with victory in the men's 10k sprint at the IBU World Cup in Oestersund.
The clean-shooting Frenchman clocked 23:31.9 to finish ahead of Sweden's Fredrik Lindstroem, who also shot clean to come in 41.5 seconds behind.
Germany's Arnd Peiffer matched Fourcade and Lindstroem on the shooting range to occupy the third spot on the podium, finishing 43.6 seconds behind the double Olympic champion.
Fourcade dominated proceedings on Saturday, leading from wire to wire, with only Johannes Thingnes Boe, who finished second in the 20k on Thursday, deemed capable of beating him.
But the young Norwegian received two penalties on the shooting range, taking away his chances of a podium finish.
