Hard to believe, but the & rsquo; January 8, 2006 in Oberhof & ndash; After days and days of fog pi & ugrave; or less dense & ndash; & Egrave; lit by a pale sun. The mass start of the World Cup 10 years ago can then go on stage in a far less oppressive than that & ldquo; & rdquo admired; so far.
Friday 8 January 2016 18 minutes reading time
Men start at noon and the opening lap & egrave; interlocutory. You can not & ograve; said of the first polygon where several favorites wrong. Sven Fischer, Raphael Poir & eacute; and, Alexander Wolf, Michael R & ouml; sch and Maxim Tchoudov all end in & rsquo; ring penalty payment agrave ;.
Among the big names come clean instead Vincent Defrasne, Ricco Gross and Michael Greis. How about in the second round in the head dominates the tactics while those who err insert higher gears. As a result we arrive at the second pitch with reduced separations.
Fortunately the polygon shuffles the cards and, after exhausting sessions on the ground, are the veterans to lead the way. The command of the operation is taken alone to a perfect Gross (35), behind which stands a Halvard Hanevold (36) precise time after missing the opening. The Norwegian precedes Rostovtsev (33) and Ilmars Bricis (35). Et & agrave; average of the first four: almost 35 springs.
The first under-30 & egrave; Vincent Defrasne, seventh and author of an error. Wrong even once Poir & eacute; and, Fischer, Wolf and Tchoudov, now all out of the top ten cos & Igrave; as Greis (2 penalty payment agrave;). R & ouml; sch even missing three targets and reel in the rear.
In the third round, the situation is crystallized because & eacute; Who & egrave; belated effort to catch up. The first standing shooting Gross Hanevold and are accurate and leave undisturbed with the German to keep ten seconds ahead of the Norwegian. Behind them back Defrasne, now third but spaced over 20 & rdquo; from the head. French precedes Bricis, Rozhkov and Greis that is zero even though he is giving the bottom of all their energies on skis. Pi & ugrave; back Poir & eacute; and Fischer and Tchoudov, yet the authors of an error, while Wolf wrong three times and disappears from contention.
During the fourth round of the gap between the first two is reduced slightly, while behind no comeback appreciably to pose a threat. The race will then decide with a duel & Outdoors; last polygon, but the pathos is short. The Teutonic wrong 2 times while the Scandinavian & egrave; perfect. Hanevold then flies to the first success of & rsquo; winter, the ninth of his career. Sar & agrave; also l & rsquo; last. L & rsquo; athlete Asker garegger & agrave; until 2010 and Get off & agrave; still a lot of satisfaction, especially in the main events, but not salir & agrave; never again & ugrave; on the step pi & ugrave; high (at least at the individual level).
Behind the triumphant Norwegian are locked in a furious battle for the podium. Poir & eacute; and finally finds zero, but so does Fischer reaching the transalpine during the final lap. Shortly after the couple becomes & ograve; a trio because & eacute; Tchoudov also covered all targets and, with a rhythm demon, hang up the two pi & ugrave; experienced rivals.
Sprint the German has easily the best and conquer the square d & rsquo; honor, while Frenchman sits on the step pi & ugrave; overcoming the bottom of the podium & rsquo; exhausted Russian fourth. The fifth & egrave; prerogative Ilmars Bricis, author of & rsquo; only shoot-out day but unable to hold their own on skis tight with opponents pi & ugrave; quoted.
& Nbsp; The disappointed Gross concludes seventh, also passed by Sergei Tchepikov, finished at the back after two errors in the first polygon, but able to recover up to an honorable sixth coin. A double penalty payment agrave; close relegates Greis in eighth place and Defrasne in & nbsp; thirteenth.
Wolf partially straightens his race in the final and concludes the twelfth defending the yellow bib. The Teutonic still leads the overall standings of the World Cup with 288 points, but his leadership wobbles Since & eacute; Fischer approaches 271 and Poir & eacute; and 258. Greis remains in proportion with 237, while the & rsquo; absent Bj ø rndalen, stopped at 173 & egrave; It slipped to seventh place also passed by Kruglov (220) and R & ouml; sch (217).

14.30 kicks off the test female. The race is immediately interesting Because & eacute; the first polygon Kati Wilhelm, Anna Carin Olofsson and Uschi Disl missing a target. Therefore all women pi & ugrave; performance in the fund are chasing. Among the big mistake even Svetlana Ishmouratova, while being cleaned Sandrine Bailly, Martina Glagow, Olga Pyleva, Liv Grete Poir & eacute; and, Linda Tj ø rhom and Katrin Apel.
The second shot to land leads a skimming Since early & eacute; errors abound, especially among those who & egrave; gi & agrave; late. Remain in command of four, all perfect in both sessions. It is Apel, Pyleva, Glagow and Ekaterina Dafovska. Bailly, the author of a mistake, & egrave; fifth in as many as 22 & rdquo ;. A sixth Tj ø rhom perfect, but in big difficulty & agrave; skiing. Wilhelm and displ must run once and remain in forty seconds off the pace. Olofsson and Ishmouratova instead are burdened by two penalty payment agrave; and end up in the slums of the league.
The mass start is transformed into a sort of race precision Since & eacute; the top four is defended very well in the next round, while maintaining an appreciable margin. However, after the third shooting, the tread is halved. Only Glagow and Pyleva avoid the & rsquo; ominous ring, while Apel it has to come a time and two Dafovska.
The Bavarian and Russia's run away with the Thuringian detached now 15 & rdquo ;. The Bulgarian, gi & agrave; the hook, exit instead of scene. Bailly also errs losing further ground from the summit and coming even overtaken by Disl, able to find an unexpected zero that places it just over & ugrave; 30 & rdquo; the leading pair. The twenty six year old French is instead about 40 & rdquo; just in front of Wilhelm, author of another error. Olofsson meanwhile is zero and try to get back on track.
The games have not yet made Since & eacute; in the fourth lap the two tread run, while behind them the pursuers do not save. Apel manages to hang up the couple in charge, making it a trio. Even a & rsquo; frenzied displ became reconciled only 8 & rdquo; with Bailly and Wilhelm lurking in about twenty seconds.
All & rsquo; last shooting session the tension can be cut with the knife, but the leading trio does not miss anyone. The connotations of the podium are decided here because & eacute; the dangerous displ missing a target and & egrave; forced to give up to break the bank. Bailly also have to turn once, while Wilhelm & ndash; although finding a clean session & ndash; & Egrave; too distant to & nbsp; can trouble the top three.
In the final round Apel tries to assert its quality & agrave; skiing, but Glagow and Pyleva are more & ugrave; fresh and fail to respond to & rsquo; Teutonic expert. After which & eacute; final in the Bavarian counterattacks and submits its cue fast returning to success after fasting for over a year. & Nbsp; The Russian came to the square d & rsquo; honor of confirming to be growing, and harvesting the first podium of the winter so far disappointing. For its part, the veteran of Erfurt pay duty on the home d & rsquo; arrival and is content with third place.
Wilhelm concludes fourth and pu & ograve; still smile in & rsquo; optical race at Crystal ball because & eacute; all end up behind the direct rivals: Disl crossed the finish line just after her fifth; Olofsson & egrave; instead only the sixteenth because of a disastrous 3 & Outdoors; last session; a & rsquo; matte Ishmouratova does not go beyond the twentieth place, his worst result of the winter. Among the protagonists of the race Bailly finishes seventh behind a Tj ø rhom unable to affect ski.
The overall standings of the World Cup sees therefore Wilhelm stretch to 341 with Olofsson second 308, third 305 and Disl Ishmouratova fourth at 283. Zaitseva, still fifth, & egrave; at 213. In big difficulty & agrave; Pyleva (198), while Bailly (163) is likely to raise the white flag in a very short time.
