In fact, the resort & agrave; the Bansk & aacute; Bystrica will come & agrave; Also included in the calendar of & rsquo; following winter, but will have & agrave; give up for lack of snow, and from that moment will host & agrave; only evidence cadets. Therefore today & egrave; the tenth anniversary of & rsquo; farewell World Cup biathlon & Outdoors; even a theater system & rsquo; edition of the World, that of 1997.
In the morning we dispute the & rsquo; masculine pursuit that begins in the sign of Alexander Wolf and Michael R & ouml; sch. The two parties at 5 & rdquo; away, bunched and continue d & rsquo; understood without missing their shots on the ground. Behind them, unexpectedly, Sven Fischer & ndash; in his sprint perfectly to pull & ndash; not gaining ground and remains in a water bath at about twenty seconds off the pace even being approached by Sweden's Carl Johan Bergman. Michael Greis instead errs on the ground and away from the head.
& Nbsp; The competition is completely different face to the third range where an error comes to head to Wolf and R & ouml; sch. Quest & rsquo; last shoots ugrave & much more; and quickly back on track in the company of Fischer, otherwise clean pitch, while the winner of the sprint lost contact with the leading pair. Bergman also wrong, but remains in the hunt for the podium, while behind him the gaps are very dilated.
In the fourth round Fischer takes a slight edge on R & ouml; sch, whose execution times are for & ograve; pi & ugrave; faster than those of most & ugrave; experienced compatriot. The polygon final is played at Ciapa-no. The veteran of Thuringia missing a target, but the young Saxon is even worse Because & eacute; He must turn twice. It opens a door to Wolf, that for & ograve; commits itself a mistake. Bergman also does not exploit the & rsquo; occasion and must follow two rings penalty payment agrave ;.
Fischer then goes undisturbed and conquest win number 32 in his career. The interesting & egrave; that contrary to what is usually the case, the success of today & egrave; son of the performance at the shooting Sven and his legendary quality & agrave; skiing tight. Behind him Wolf and R & ouml; sch gather together. Sprint Ali goes assert his superior speed & agrave; and gets the square d & rsquo; honor with Miki close third. Germany not only monopolize the podium, but the replication of two days before because poker & eacute; in & rsquo; last lap Greis can replace and override Bergman finishing fourth and relegating the Swede fifth.
Even the German team does not go far from pokerissimo. The sixth & egrave; In fact, the prerogative of Ricco Gross, who enters for the first time this season in the top ten recovering fourteen positions. C & rsquo; & egrave; Who does it better, as the Czech Michal Å lesingr, thirteenth with a differential of +27.
Failure comeback instead for Raphael Poir & eacute; and, far too foul ground. French slides out from the winds because of three penalty payment agrave; in the initial polygons, but then thanks to a double zero back up to & rsquo; eighth. L & rsquo; opportunity to create a vacuum with respect to Bj ø rndalen in the standings & egrave; definitely lost, and indeed even the transalpine loses yellow bib just conquered.
The new leader of the absolute rankings of the World Cup & egrave; In fact, Alexander Wolf, event entirely impronosticabile only a month before. The twenty-seven of Thuringia has 220 points and & egrave; chased by Poir & eacute; and 215, from Fischer to 199, from Kruglov (now seventh) to 174, from & rsquo; absent Bj ø rndalen to 173 and the tandem made up of R & ouml; sch Greis and 167.
Looking for a long-term continuity & agrave; Performance of & rsquo; & egrave current tread; an unknown factor. The struggle for the Crystal Ball seems therefore destined to become a new & ldquo; & rdquo triello; between Bj ø rndalen, Poir & eacute; and and Fischer.
Returning to the race, Emil Hegle Svendsen falls from fifth to twenty-first position. Norway remains long in the top ten, then to & ograve; wrong three times & Outdoors; last polygon and collapses on the final lap. Maxim Tchoudov rather become involved in a crash even more & ugrave; resounding, sinking from & rsquo; eighth to thirtieth place due to 8 errors.
Nothing points at home Italy. Christian De Lorenzi (0 + 1 + 1 + 1) becomes the protagonist of a performance discrete and ends thirty, while Ren & eacute; Laurent Vuillermoz (2 + 2 + 1 + 0) the ends immediately behind because of too many penalty payment agrave; to the ground.

In light of the detachments of starting the test female has very little history. Anna Carin Olofsson is unrivaled and is produced in an authentic solo from the first all & rsquo; last kilometer maintaining at least 50 & rdquo; ahead on & rsquo; pi & ugrave pursuer; nearby.
Sweden, the third victory in & rsquo; period of twelve days, you can even increase their margins despite the lack of a target in more & ugrave; Kati Wilhelm. The German does not have any particular problems to confirm the square d & rsquo; honor of the sprint, but at the finish line more than a minute to pay Scandinavian!
The podium & egrave; complemented by a & rsquo; other Teutonic, Uschi Disl, which & egrave; the main reason to show the competition. The Bavarian comeback with bullying in the early stages, so as to engage Wilhelm after the second shooting range, but then messed up and slipped back again. Then, thanks to one of his proverbial last laps, unable to harpoon the step pi & ugrave; the bottom of the podium sverniciando Svetlana Ishmouratova, relegated to fourth place.
Fifth l & rsquo; Ukrainian Lilia Efremova that sprint exceeds a & rsquo; excellent Natalia Guseva, good to move up from the twenty-fourth square, and Olga Nazarova. Quest & rsquo; last closes his weekend with the curious booty of three seventh places in as many races. In the top ten c & rsquo; & egrave; space for two Chinese, Youxia Hou (eighth) and Xianying Liu (tenth). In particular quest & rsquo; last & egrave; one of the disappointments of & rsquo; start of the season and only in Slovakia begins to show signs of life.
Olga Zaitseva creates a discreet comeback, finishing ninth, but lost further ground in the standings. Home Russia Olga Pyleva concludes his December opaque with a twelfth place. Remaining in the former Soviet Union, but we move in Belarus, it should be highlighted the thirteenth position Olena Zubrilova, which has a curious consistency of performance: has completed all seven races of the season between the seventh and the sixteenth place.
As for the & rsquo; Italy there is a provision along the lines of the sprint with both athletes and stood just outside the points. Saskia Santer (1 + 0 + 2 + 2) concludes thirty-fourth and Michela Ponza (0 + 2 + 1 + 1) thirty-sixth.
The overall standings of the World Cup saw Kati Wilhelm still leading with 251 points against the 247 of Olofsson, 242 and 238 of Ishmouratova of displ. Zaitseva lost contact and & egrave; at 213. Sandrine Bailly & egrave; 127 (with only four races), while Pyleva limps to 112.
Looking ahead to wonder if the Swedish potr & agrave; maintain long his athletic condition, or vice versa if other athletes grow. To give a & rsquo; & agrave idea of ​​superiority; put on display by the thirty-Sveg to Osrbliesi you think that in & rsquo; tracking today has inflicted almost a minute and a half to the second component in the fund. Would be confirmed even in January, the game for the crystal ball will not be playing either.
