In the morning the men take to the track. In light of what we saw the day before the favorite for success it appears to be Raphael Poir & eacute; e. The transalpine part with a margin of error of Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen, which is proposed as the main alternative to the French. Nominations are also strong ones Stian Eckhoff, Ilmar Bricis, Halvard Hanevold, Vincent Defrasne, Nikolay Kruglov and Ivan Tcherezov.
To & ograve; the predictions go out the gi & agrave; in the early stages. Poir & eacute; and & egrave; l & rsquo; only one of three athletes on the podium in the sprint to err on the first polygon. Eckhoff reinforces its leading position in fifteen seconds ahead of Bricis and thirty of those margin of a pack of pursuers led by a Bj ø rndalen possessed, gi & agrave; third despite a missed target.
The second session shot radically shuffles the cards. The Latvian leader and make a mistake, but Ole is worse they have to travel twice & rsquo; ring penalty payment agrave ;. It took advantage of a perfect Tcherezov who takes command of operations before Eckhoff and two other men blameless shooting, Defrasne and Kruglov. Bj ø rndalen & egrave; He slipped in eighteenth place and fifty seconds of delay from the peak. Least & egrave; even in the company of Poir & eacute; and, which is experiencing a day-no.
In the third round the first four are bunched together and present themselves on the pitch. Eckhoff, Defrasne Kruglov and come out clean. Tcherezov however mistaken, loses twenty-five seconds from the leading trio and especially finds himself on his heels a Bj ø rndalen impressive. The thirty-one Norwegian and is literally flying through the first day of zero earned 20 & rdquo; in a tour to tread. It still has a half minutes late, but remain two rounds. Even Poir & eacute; and going strong, but continues to make mistakes and stays away from the summit.
You get to the shooting range with decisive Eckhoff, Kruglov and Defrasne together in command, but the three they start playing the & ldquo; no Ciapa & rdquo ;. The Norwegian wrong three times, the two Russian and one French. Alk & eacute; Bj ø rndalen held a lecture on the theme & ldquo; The class is not & egrave; water & rdquo ;: after 2,500 meters walked belly on the ground takes off his rifle, quickly covering all targets, svernicia who is running in & rsquo; ring agrave penalty payment; and flies to success, the 56 & deg; of his career.
Defrasne closes still second in fluency, equaling his best result, and back on the podium after fasting for nearly four years. Third place & egrave; Tcherezov prerogative of & nbsp; thanks to a perfect final shot. The twenty-five at the finish line ahead of Izhevsk Kruglov, fourth, and Bj & ouml; rn Ferry author of a & rsquo; impressive second stint that took him even close to the top-three, to the delight of the home crowd.
Sixth the & ldquo; & rdquo ant; Sergei Rozhkov. Seventh Poir & eacute; and, partially riscattatosi after the difficult early stages. Eighth Bricis a good, a very disappointed Eckhoff ninth and a tenth Julien Robert applause. The transalpine has made the & rsquo; only shoot-out day and remounted some 50 positions (!) Than the sixtieth (and last) of departure.
Another race to forget for Germany. The best German & egrave; Michael again R & ouml; sch, seventeenth and wrecked their shots standing after they have had in the top positions in half & agrave; competition. Sunday also very exciting Sergei Tchepikov, which ends just before the twenty-third to a bad Hanevold, fallen behind Russian veteran.
Home Italy there taken down from zero. In truth & agrave; Ren & eacute; Laurent Vuillermoz becomes the protagonist of a good race, missing three targets at the range (0 + 1 + 1 + 1), makes a great recovery. Unfortunately the starting position & egrave; too severe and the Aosta Valley crosses the finish line 31 & deg ;, a placement that & Outdoors; age was equivalent to the first of those excluded from the points. & nbsp; Cala instead Wilfried Pallhuber (2 + 2 + 0 + 2), immediately out of the game and 45 & deg; & Outdoors; arrival.
With the success of today Bj ø rndalen also won the yellow bib lead on the overall standings with 90 points against 78 of a trio Eckhoff, leading to a night Poir & eacute; ee Defrasne.

In the afternoon the female test promises to turn crackling. The three women get on the podium in the sprint (Uschi Disl, Tadeja Brankovic, Katrin Apel) are not really solid shooting, therefore it would not be a pilgrim to see them succumb & Outdoors; imprecision.
In any event, as seen yesterday, at least displ be registered with the narrow circle of the favorites for success, which includes also Sandrine Bailly and Olga Zaitseva.
The veteran Bavarian confirms his excellent run of form and partly spur beaten, gaining on all opponents. However the polygon errors rained and the German (a round of penalty payment agrave;) finds himself between two of the few to get it right: Apel and Zaitseva. Behind the Russian Brakovic and Bailly, in turn, the authors of an error.
Uschi continues to raise its voice in the background and after passing her compatriot in the second round produces a clean session that launches the lead by a wide margin. In fact, his & egrave; a rare zero between the athletes of the leading group and the fruit over half a minute ahead of Zaitseva and almost 45 & rdquo; Bailly. Quest & rsquo; & egrave last however; hooked from a pimpantissima Andrea Henkel, which & egrave; still immaculate shooting and moving upward positions. Apel, however, & egrave; He slipped to fifth place in almost a first delay.
In the third round displ he is generous and comes to pitch out of breath, struggling to open, and then having to stop the firing sequence to catch his breath. Both she Zaitseva cover four targets, but the difficulties & agrave; the leader allow the Russian to recover 24 of the 36 second delay with which he made his entrance to the polygon.
The struggle for success appears restricted to the Teutonic and Moscow as Bailly and Henkel wrong, seeing reached also by Linda Tj ø rhom. Also behind them stands the menacing silhouette of Kati Wilhelm. The twenty-nine of Zella Mehlis has sent so far to sign the fifteen bullets and is catching up with bullying from twentieth place to start. & Nbsp; Germany at home instead Apel definitely wrecked.
In the fourth round displ gains slightly on Zaitseva, but the polygon open badly and then there is no other target. On the contrary, Russian & egrave; perfect and takes with authorities & agrave; command of operations. After him are only Wilhelm and Henkel, in turn precise (for Kati comes even the shoot-out) and unplug than a dozen seconds.
In the final round of the twenty-seven Moscow he concedes nothing to the pursuers and is imposed for the 6th time in his career. Curiously hitherto four of his successes came in the snows of & Öland; stersund, where & ograve; & agrave not conquer; never again & ugrave ;. Wilhelm concludes second adjusting Henkel sprint. For both an unexpected podium, as the & rsquo; handicap accumulated in the sprint, now catching up respectively six eleven p.m. positions.
Bitter fourth place for displ preceding a Bailly too inaccurate. Sixth constant Svetlana Ishmouratova, author of a silent test for which he climbed over Tj ø rhom, seventh because of two errors & Outdoors; last session. Eighth Anna Carin Olofsson, talented to rise gradually from the belly of the big group after missing twice in the opening. Ninth Martina Glagow, whose performance & egrave; It was ruined by an unexpected 3 ground. Brankovic and Apel have sunk respectively in twelfth and fifteenth position. Among them is & egrave; inserted a & rsquo; matte Olena Zubrilova, fourteenth.
Home Italian race without infamy and without praise for Michela Ponza, author of four errors (one in each polygon) and 17th at the finish line. Saskia Santer (4 + 0 + 2 + 2) would not start with particular ambitions and finishes 59th.
At least fourth place allows Uschi Disl defend the yellow bib. The German remains in command of the overall standings with 90 points, closely followed by Zaitseva 87 and Bailly to 77. Among the contenders for Crystal Ball Wilhelm has 57 points, while Pyleva (not even qualified for the & rsquo; tracking) & egrave; pinned at 0 level.
