Thursday 26 November 2015 12 minutes reading time
The first to take to the track are men, whose race rewards those who can not find the zero shot. In fact, the three on the podium not lacking a target. However the finish line it will come & agrave; to form a very peculiar situation: the gap between the first and fifth & egrave; high (43 & rdquo; 3), so that the distance is less between fifth and forty-fourth!
Competition & egrave; a sort of & ldquo; Groundhog Day & rdquo; Since & eacute; imposes Stian Eckhoff, gi & agrave; winner of the sprint & Öland; stersund held in December 2004, who won on the same snow his second (and last) career success.
The Norwegian, older brother of Tiril today at the top of the women's circuit, excels creating a heads up virtual with Frenchman Raphael Poir & eacute; and, finally chopped 4 & rdquo; 8 and forced to settle the square d & rsquo; honor. The difference & egrave; the rapidity & agrave; execution at the shooting range where the Scandinavian earns more than 6 & rdquo; the Alps.
The podium is completed by the Latvian Ilmars Bricis, unable to keep up on the slopes of the two pi & ugrave; young opponents, but still be able to earn a prestigious third place.
Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen does mark clearly the best time of day in the background, but you see relegated to fourth place with three penalty payment agrave ;. In any case for Norway it is a triumphant day since it includes three men in the top five thanks to Halvard Hanevold, it ranked just fifth.
Altogether there comes a & rsquo; good test of Russia's team that ranks four men between the sixth and l & rsquo; eleventh place. Among them stands out above all the & rsquo; emerging Ivan Tcherezov, author of the second time on skis tight.
Instead Germany runs into a resounding debacle caused by the fact of siding without his three best men. In addition to the already & agrave; mentioned trouble Fischer, are also absent the sick Ricco Gross and Michael Greis. The best German & egrave; then the young Michael R & ouml; sch, twenty-third.
For the & rsquo; & egrave not Italian; certainly not a race to remember Because & eacute; no blue enters into the points (& Outdoors; time limited to the first 30 positions and not extended to the best 40 as today). Who ranks best & egrave; veteran team Wilfried Pallhuber, thirty-eight, with an error that concludes standing 35 & deg ;. Ren & eacute; Laurent Vuillermoz (1 + 2) qualifies for the skin of our teeth (58 & deg;) & Outdoors; tracking the day after that they will not take part Paolo Longo (1 + 0) and Christian De Lorenzi (2 + 3), respectively 62 & deg; and 100 & deg ;.

A few hours later & egrave; Once the women and the proof follows the same script: those who make mistakes can & ograve; forget the podium on which rise three athletes perfect at the shooting range.
From this point of view & egrave; surprising that success is achieved by & rsquo; eternal Uschi Disl. Germany's shoot at the shooting range with execution times antediluvian and pays heavily duty to their opponents in the rapidity & agrave; firing. However now he manages to establish itself by finding a rare for her & ldquo; zero & rdquo; shooting (& egrave; only the & rsquo; eighth in more than fifteen years of operation & agrave; racing) and realizing the best time of day skiing tight (this rather non & egrave; a novelty & agrave;).
For the veteran Bavarian is a victory particularly significant for three reasons.
The first: the tender age & agrave; 35 years and 11 days Ursula, called Uschi, becomes the & rsquo; pi & ugrave athlete; old to win a World Cup race in the women (the primacy of the will come & agrave; ripped from Anna Carin Olofsson in 2009).
Second, it imposes displ 14 years and 346 days away from his maiden victory, dated 15 December 1990. Among women this record of longevity & agrave; still stands today (the only Andrea Henkel & egrave; been able to approach them, with a span of 14 years and 30 days).
The third: it is victory number 30 of his career (sar & agrave; also the & rsquo; last), a milestone previously reached only by Magdalena Forsberg (42) and in the years ahead destined to be demolished only by Magdalena Neuner (34) .
The 'statement & Öland; stersund & egrave; then a daughter of displ precise and overflowing into the bottom, especially in & rsquo; last lap, where svernicia Tadeja Brankovic. The Slovenian was virtually in the lead after the second session of the shot, but in two thousand five hundred meters final has no weapons to fight the Teutonic and has to content of the square d & rsquo; honor 6 & rdquo; 8 from the winner.
The triumph of Germany & egrave; Katrin Apel completed by that, exactly like most & ugrave; expert and noble fellow, lives one of the few days when everything turns the right way to shoot. L & rsquo; athlete Thuringian concludes third at 13 & rdquo; 2 ahead of the defending World Cup Sandrine Bailly, relegated to fourth by an error on the ground.
As in the men's Russia lacks the podium, but becomes the protagonist of a & rsquo; excellent team performance. The best & egrave; Olga Zaitseva, fifth with a penalty payment agrave ;, before Anna Bogaliy-Titovets and Svetlana Ishmouratova.
Disappointing proof of Kati Wilhelm (0 + 2), and worst of German twentieth. Even worse is Olga Pyleva, which blatantly wrong three times and missing the qualification & Outdoors; pursuit of & rsquo; next day. Among other big performance without infamy and without praise for Olena Zubrilova, twelfth, and anonymous Xianying Liu (twenty-sixth).
Home Italy comes a good race by Michela Ponza, thirteenth with zero strike. Gains access to the pursuit, while remaining far removed from the points, also Saskia Santer (2 + 2), fifty-seventh. Pi & ugrave; back his sister Nathalie (1 + 3), sixty, and Katja Haller (1 + 0) seventieth.
