Medal record
|
He participated in the 2018 Winter Olympics.[3] There he won a silver medal in the 12.5 km pursuit event as well as the gold in the relay.
Samuelsson has been outspoken on his views on the presence of doping in the sport, and has especially been critical of Russia and its anti-doping agency RUSADA.[4]
In August 2019, he became Swedish champion at the 10 kilometres sprint distance[5] and the 20 kilometres distance during the Swedish national summer biathlon championships in Sollefteå.[6]
