On the eve of the technical staff of the pi & ugrave nations; Strong decide for some changes in their quartets. Especially at home Germany, where are inevitable excellent exclusions, the head coach Frank Ullirch decides to leave at rest Michael R & ouml; sch to give Alexander Wolf space. In Russia however Nikolay Kruglov takes the place of Pavel Rostovtsev. No changes in Norway, & nbsp; where competing the same four of 20 km.
It is precisely the Norwegians the great protagonists of the initial part of the competition. Frode Andresen, who won three of the five sprint in which he took part in the current season, seems willing to drop the poker. & Nbsp; However a mistake on the fourth target of the polygon in the foot that leaves the door open to opponents.
One of them & egrave; Vincent Defranse, which in previous weeks in Turin has in turn gained success in this format, which is holding a tremendous step by his standards. French also memorize options missing a target up and lose any chance to trouble the Scandinavian. Meanwhile, the most & ugrave; quoted Bleus, Raphael Poir & eacute; and, confirming its current difficulties & agrave; in the fund and is called immediately out of contention for the podium wrong ground. & nbsp;
Conversely Halvard Hanevold slips through the crack left open by Andresen and find the zero to the shooting, leaving the second polygon with a lead of 8 & rdquo; compatriot. Alexander Wolf looks back to the good days of skiing, but a double penalty & agrave; standing precludes any dreams of glory.
Meanwhile split times show the same time as the final round Hanevold is holding blow to Andresen, while in the initial Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen is surprisingly unremarkable. & Nbsp; For more & ugrave; the thirty-two Simostranda commits an opening error, compromising its performance.
To understand the appearance of the podium just have to wait Sven Fischer, who appears l & rsquo; only one able to beat Hanevold. Indeed, the German, gi & agrave; clean ground, is zero even standing and winning the coveted medal d & rsquo; Olympic gold.
The biathlete Oberhof now travels the 35 springs and, despite a successful career peppered which places it in & rsquo; Olympus of the pi & ugrave; greatest of all time, had not yet excelled in the context in Five circles.
The tab & ugrave; It is broken today and Fischer & ndash; whose peculiar traits are those of always compete without gloves, even with polar temperatures, and to use a rifle with a discharge mechanism & hellip ;. & Ndash; becomes the fourth man in history to achieve the Triple Crown, that is to win the Crystal Ball, l & rsquo; iridescent gold and precisely the Olympics.
Medal d & rsquo; silver for Hanevold, finally chopped 8 & rdquo; 2 and again on the podium after finishing third l & rsquo; individual. Bronze & egrave; Instead of a prerogative which is experiencing a Andresen & rsquo; authentic second youth.
In truth & agrave; his third place shakes when l & rsquo; Austrian Wolfgang Perner, who started with bib high, sporting a startling step of the first class. The thirty-eight of Ramsau is likely to change the features of the podium, but a penalty & agrave; relegates him standing just in front of the gi & agrave in fourth place; Defrasne mentioned, as well as & eacute; Ivan Tcherezov and Ricco Gross, both perfect shooting and d & rsquo position to attack the & rsquo; tracking. In reality & agrave; the sensational performance of veteran Styria Trover & agrave; explanation a few days later, when a & rsquo; authentic storm will cut down & agrave; on him and on the Austrian team.
Only ninth opaque Poir & eacute; and while Bj ø rndalen does not go beyond a disappointing twelfth place resulting imprecise also be standing after gi & agrave; state to the ground. Michael Greis, winner of the 20 km, Today & egrave; impalpable and even finishes out of the points.
For l & rsquo; Italy a much less noble performance compared to 20 km. The best & egrave; Wilfried Pallhuber that ranks 22 & deg; with a penalty & agrave; just ahead of Christian De Lorenzi, 26 & deg; with two errors. Ren & eacute; Laurent Vuillermoz wrong four times, three of which in the foot, and ends 39 & deg ;. L & rsquo; committed blue last, Sergio Bonaldi, runs three times & rsquo; ominous ring and ends 66 & deg ;.
Today's result ignites the fight for the World Cup Because & eacute; Poir & eacute; and remains leader in the overall standings with 443 points, but now & egrave; hounded by Fischer to 431. Greis and R & ouml; sch inexorably lose ground and are respectively 379 and 376, being approached by Bj ø rndalen (365).
There will be four days rest between sprints and tracking, scheduled for February 18. Meanwhile the women played their sprint 16.
