Among the men there is, in Bavaria as in Oberhof, l & rsquo; absence of Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen. The Norwegian & egrave; still struggling with the aftermath of a state flu and decided to return only in Anterselva. Home Russia is lacking, for one of the usual spirits technical choices, the perky Maxim Tchoudov. For its part, the & rsquo; Italy is back in action at full capacity after having presented in Thuringia in lower ranks to carry out a training camp in San Sicario.
The launch & egrave; all fuorch & eacute; interlocutory and directs all & rsquo; instant competition. Germany & egrave; now starring with Michael R & ouml; sch, whose impressive rapidity & agrave; Execution allows him to hand over the baton to the command with a slight margin of Halvard Hanevold. Extemporaneous third and fourth position for Slovenia and the United States, in proportion to about the outbursts of Janez Maric and Jeremy Teela. The interesting of the first portion & egrave; represented by the delay accumulated by some of the top teams. The Belarusian Alexei Aidarov and French Ferreol Cannard suffer overly tight skiing, while the Russian Ivan Tcherezov no impact as usual. The three belong to the group & rsquo; Austrian Daniel Mesotitsch, but are already & agrave; in half a minute. Fatigue l & rsquo; Italy, in which the loading presents the bill, with Christian De Lorenzi thirteenth to 43 & rdquo ;.
In the second half Germany terraced Alexander Wolf, who becomes the protagonist of proof with respect to that staged in the relay in Hochfilzen, and Oberhof. The leader of the overall World Cup skiing does not impress, but & egrave; precise. In the previous two team events instead he had maintained an extremely devastating, eventually & ograve; in & rsquo; ring agrave penalty payment; and forcing the companions to climb. The performance speaks well for the Germans who take off in a race where & egrave; just the rapidity & agrave; Run to make the most difference Since & eacute; the polygon and the track does not allow selection. Just slow shooting is reeling Emil Helge Svendsen. The Norwegian lost ground being reached by the other pretenders to the podium for & ograve; not earn essentially nothing to tread. Scandinavian changes to 30 & rdquo; in the company of & rsquo; Austrian Wolfgang Perner, Frenchman Vincent Defrasne and Russian Nikolay Kruglov. He leaves the scene with a Belarus Sergey Novikov in suffering, while the & rsquo; Italy plunges nearly three minutes Because & eacute; Ren & eacute; Laurent Vuillermoz messes up and has to travel twice & rsquo; ring penalty payment agrave ;.
There & rsquo; & egrave; Because great show & eacute; the race & egrave; tiratissima, but lack any costs dear. & Egrave; There & ograve; which happens to France in the third fraction. Julien Robert can not stand comparison with the most skiing & ugrave; illustrious opponents and actually paying duty, disappearing Bleus from the fight for the podium. Germany continues to lead the dancing with Sven Fischer to give the & rsquo; impression to stay in the fund to better manage at the shooting range, where fact & egrave; perfect. The veteran remains substantially unchanged margin on the Norwegian Frode Andresen and on & rsquo; Austrian Ludwig Gredler, whose tails are instead lost by the Russian Pavel Rostovtsev. L & rsquo; Italy, now in the rear ends to over 5 minutes due to two more rounds of penalty payment agrave; Paolo Longo.
In closing Michael Greis realizes a test similar to that of Wolf and Fischer avoiding overdoing on skis for the sake of accuracy. That is enough for Germany to triumph in a close race objectively emotionless. There are no sparks even behind the winners Since & eacute; Christoph Sumann'll quickly get the upper hand on Stian Eckhoff and placed the & rsquo; Austria in an excellent second place with remodeled Norway to conclude the third. Sergei Tchepikov not & egrave; absolutely in the day and Russia square distant, fifth, it exceeded even by a perky Raphael Poir & eacute; e. As for the Italians Wilfried Pallhuber takes to the track for the honor of signing and the & rsquo; Italy closes sixteenth in a race to forget.
