In the men's field, Tarjei Bø repeated the victory obtained yesterday in the Sprint. The Norwegian champion, present at the continental event to better prepare the world championships in Östersund, gave the crumbs to the opponents, who saw him only from afar. After being perfect on the first 15 targets, Bø made a mistake in the final series, but closed with almost 30 "ahead of the first of the pursuers. In the place of honor was the Russian Matvey Eliseev, who with a single throw error, has reassembled from 11th place. In addition to gold, Norway won the bronze medal with the amazing Bogetveit, which overtook Belarusian Sergey Bocharnikov. At home Italy Giuseppe Montello, who started with the bib 12, slipped in 26th position (1 + 0 + 2 + 1), finishing just ahead of an excellent Patrick Braunhofer (0 + 0 + 1 + 0), able to reassemble from 49th at the 28th square. Saverio Zini finished 52nd instead.
Same script in the women's race, where Ekaterina Yurlova-Percht has dealt important gaps to the opponents. The Russian, starting with the bib number 2, made a clear run in the first three polygons, gaining a minute ahead of the pursuers. In the last series he missed a target, but it did not prevent her from winning the gold medal. The silver was instead finished on the neck of the Belarusian Iryna Kryuko (0 + 1 + 0 + 0), capable of reassembling from 11th place. The home athlete on the finish line was behind the German Nadine Horchler, also on the podium after a good comeback. At the foot of the podium ended the Polish Dunja Zdouc 4a and the Norwegian Knotten 5a. 41st final place for Samuela Comola, the only Italian in the race.
