In the morning it's up to the men. Field starters & egrave; depleted by some absences weight, beginning with that of Alexander Wolf, now former yellow bib, still struggling with the illness contract in Ruhpolding. Absent instead for technical Russians Ivan Tcherezov and Sergei Tchepikov. The first will come & agrave; deployed only in the mass start, while the second deserts in toto the & rsquo; appointment of South Tyrol.
In return back in action for the first time for forty days now Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen, returning after missing three stages (the first choice, the next two because of a continuing state influenza). It also revises Maxim Tchoudov, absent in Ruhpolding for Russian decision of the coaching staff.
The race is resolved with an undeniable triumph of Frode Andresen, that in & rsquo; current winter has suddenly found the enamel of better times dramatically reversing the downward trend of the previous three years. With hindsight the 2005- & rsquo; 06 & sar agrave; the swan song of the biathlete H ø nefoss that during the day today gets 3 & deg; victory of the season, the 15 & deg; of his career. Sar & agrave; also l & rsquo; last.
It is a milestone for the thirty-Norwegian Because & eacute; It allows him to reach Vladimir Dratchev and Frank-Peter R & ouml; tsch fifth place on the list of all-plurivittoriosi times. All & rsquo; epoch in the history of the biathlon had better just Bj ø rndalen (56), Raphael Poir & eacute; and (38), Sven Fischer (32) and Frank Ullrich (17).
Andresen leaves no room for opponents Since & eacute; the usual step skiing from first class associates also converted an incredible zero shooting. L & rsquo; Addition of & rsquo; as obvious result a very clear victory because & eacute; the only ones able to hold his rhythm wrong.
In truth & agrave; compatriot Halvard Hanevold is even better than skiing, but a double penalty payment agrave; standing only relegates him to fourth. It should then staged a curious reversal of roles between the two veterans Scandinavians, who are candidates for a starring role in the upcoming Olympic Games in Turin 2006. About Norway, Bj ø rndalen recurs in up circuit with a fifth place despite not drunk n & eacute; the polygon n & eacute; skiing tight.
On the podium is space Ricco Gross, the first satisfaction of a winter so far characterized by too many ailments. The thirty-four of Thuringia moved to Ruhpolding live the first day of the glory of his season covering all the targets and taking advantage of the most widespread inaccuracy of many opponents pi & ugrave; quoted. The German pays a whopping 33 & rdquo; 8 to Andresen, but the square d & rsquo; & egrave honor; its.
Third place & egrave; prerogative of increasingly & ugrave; convincing Maxim Tchoudov, it has become one of the realities & agrave; Circuit greater. The twenty-three Russian seemed cut out of the race to the top-three by an error on the ground, but it is involved in a sensational final lap allowing him to mock Hanevold and Bj ø rndalen.
Chews bitter Michael Greis, author of a & rsquo; excellent performance on skis but burdened by two errors and finally sixth. Underperform to & ograve; Other contenders for the Crystal Ball. Poir & eacute; ee Michael R & ouml; sch disputing a parallel test, respectively ended the seventeenth and eighteenth place, struggling at the bottom and not getting shot. Even a & rsquo; unrecognizable Sven Fischer, grappling with its known problems of adaptation & Outdoors; deep sea, ends out of the points which, incidentally, is enclosed by an Italian.
Ren & eacute; Laurent Vuillermoz fact Square 30 & deg; and it collects a punticino despite three penalty payment agrave; standing. Christian De Lorenzi wrong instead to the ground (2 + 0) and ranks 38 & deg ;, qualifying for the & rsquo; pursuit of the next day with the participation of Paolo Longo (2 + 1) and Wilfried Pallhuber (2 + 1), fifty-sixth and sixtieth.
Poir & eacute; and remains the leader in the overall World Cup with 358 points against the 329 of Greis, rose to second place, the 326 R & ouml; sch, the Fischer 317 and 292 of a Wolf stuck at stake.

 In afternoon staged the women's race, who do not participate n & eacute; Anna Carin Olofsson, n & eacute; Svetlana Ishmouratova, respectively second and third in the overall World Cup.
The entire Swedish team had planned for some time not to participate in Anterselva to privilege the preparations for the Olympics in Turin. But the Russian, who fell ill in Ruhpolding, opted to return home early and deserting the & rsquo; appointment of South Tyrol.
At least back in action in the fourth absolute rankings, Uschi Disl & ndash; stop by back pain in the previous week & ndash; and Olga Pyleva, fresh from his part from a state influenza.
Kati Wilhelm has therefore a wonderful opportunity to create a vacuum in the race for the Crystal Ball and exploits beautifully, taking on more of & ugrave; the luxury to give tit for tat to Sandrine Bailly.
In fact, six days before the sprint in Ruhpolding he lived on a duel between the French and the German, won a & rsquo; trifle from the Alps. Today, the challenge will be seeking similar, but the roles are reversed. & Nbsp;
The twenty-nine of Thuringia and the twenty-six of the Rhone-Alpes battle it again revealing a category superior to the competition. Neither he makes mistakes and shooting & Outdoors; output of the second polygon Bailly 2 & rdquo; 2 ahead on & rsquo; half.
If in Bavaria the & rsquo; s latest round had seen the French to resist the return of the Teutonic, today things go very differently. Wilhelm & egrave; pi & ugrave; incisive in the final kilometers and consumes hot his revenge sport winning by 2 & rdquo; 8. To Kati & egrave; the third victory of & rsquo; winter, the thirteenth of his career.
The podium & egrave; complemented by solid Albina Akhatova, albeit separated by as much 25 & rdquo; 4. The Russian defended very well and skiing with two sessions shot clean in the best advantage of a missed target from falling displ, relegated to fourth place despite the second-half of the day in the fund.
If rentr & eacute; and veteran Bavarian & egrave; of the highest level, not as you can & ograve; say to Pyleva struggling exceedingly and does not exceed the twenty-seventh place. Speaking of Russia, Olga Zaitseva seems to have lost the enamel of the season. The twenty-seven Moscow concludes seventh fact no penalty payment agrave ;, also preceded by Linda Tj ø rhom (fifth) and Andrea Henkel (sixth). Quest & rsquo; last appears rebounding after rather dull performance in the recent past.
Step back from Ruhpolding to Liv Grete Poir & eacute; and, tenth with two penalty payment agrave ;, mind progresses terrible girl Magdalena Neuner. The young Bavarian does mark a time from the top ten & Outdoors; output from the first polygon and then closes the nineteenth despite two missed targets in the foot!
No Italian enters into the points. Michela Ponza (0 + 2) & egrave; the best, but thirty-fifth place, just ahead of Nathalie Santer (0 + 3), thirty-eighth. Saskia Santer (0 + 2), returning after having deserted the two previous stages, concludes forty-fifth and qualified for the & rsquo; chase two days later cos & Igrave; as the German naturalized Italian Barbara Ertl (0 + 1), fifty-ninth on his debut in the absolute maximum circuit. Ends immediately instead weekend Katja Haller (0 + 3), the sixty-fifth.
As anticipated, Wilhelm goes on the run in the overall World Cup where he now commands with 483 points against the 375 of & rsquo; absent Olofsson and 345 of displ, portatasi third bypassing Ishmouratova (328).
