Unlike what happened twenty-four hours before, today weather on Tirol & egrave; perfect. The sun is shining and the conditions are ideal. However many favorites have decided to start with chest very high (d & rsquo; moreover, the strategy & egrave; applied even today because & eacute; & ndash; when the weather & egrave; beautiful & ndash; not & egrave; pilgrim see the track in Hochfilzen velocizzarsi dint of steps ).
L & rsquo; & egrave appointment today; Since particularly interesting & eacute; They make their season debut big three Germans absent, because of various ailments, from the opening stage of & Öland; stersund. L & rsquo; individual Austrian therefore coincides with the first exit of Sven Fischer, Ricco Gross and Michael Greis.

French & egrave; l & rsquo; unique among the 122 starters to cover all targets and imposes itself with merit, gestendosi to better track and reaping the benefits of their precision.
Piazza d & rsquo; honor for Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen that in the end he lost the superiority & agrave; absolute listing shows & Öland; stersund. The Norwegian still keeps a step-race higher than the trans, but pay duty because of & rsquo; only mistake of the day, made in the first session.
Scandinavian must therefore settle for second place, trailing by 10 & rdquo; 3, and pi & ugrave; that undermine Poir & eacute; and must take care to defend Greis. German, itself forced to give up the victory because of a missed target in the ground, completed the podium at 12 & rdquo; 8 to the winner.
For twenty-nine Bavarian they are fatal, in the race for second place, running times decidedly more & ugrave; dilated than Ole. Indeed skiing close the Teutonic earns 27 & rdquo; in Bj ø rndalen, for cedendone & ograve; 29 in the rapidity & agrave; firing.
The surrender of Germany after the terrible debut & Öland; stersund is reinforced by surprising fourth in the revived Alexander Wolf, while & egrave; bittersweet the first seasonal Fischer who set the best time in the fund, but missed too much and ends eighteenth. Instead Gross & egrave; l & rsquo; s shadow & eacute; same and only ends 54 & deg ;.
On balance the threat pi & ugrave; serious for the victory of Raphael Poir & eacute; and proves to be Pavel Rostovtsev, which is parallel to the French race until & rsquo; last polygon where for & ograve; He committed two errors and concludes only & Outdoors; eleventh place. Certainly not enough the fifth place of the evergreen Sergei Tchepikov and l & rsquo; unexpected eighth Serguei Baschkirov to comfort Russia.
Among those who were put on display in & Öland; stersund take a step back and Stian Eckhoff Vincent Defrasne, who were respectively in the fifteenth and seventeenth position. Even worse is Ivan Tcherezov, even fortieth. Instead confirmed the Norwegian Halvard Hanevold and Polish Tomasz Sikora, fifth and tenth, which back in the noble gi & agrave; frequented in the Swedish sprint.
L & rsquo; & Italy can ograve; smile thanks to & rsquo; exploits of Ren & eacute; Laurent Vuillermoz. The Aosta Valley & egrave; author of a capital performance shooting (one penalty payment agrave; opening) and get an amazing seventh. For the twenty-eight of & rsquo; & egrave army; the second top ten finish of his career and surprise & egrave; that come in & rsquo; individual, a format where he always had a lot of fatigue.
As for the other blue comes into the points again Wilfried Pallhuber (1 + 0 + 1 + 1), the twenty-ninth. Pi & ugrave; however distant Christian De Lorenzi (1 + 0 + 1 + 2) and Paolo Longo (0 + 1 + 0 + 2), respectively, fifty-sixth and fifty-seventh. Finally the young Mattia Cola (1 + 1 + 1 + 1) concludes centotreesimo his debut season in the World Cup.
