Czech Tereza Vobornikova (0-2-1-o) is the new junior world champion of the Pursuit after the victory in the Sprint on Friday at the end of a race similar to a roller coaster of emotions in which at each polygon the situation at the top has turned upside down. For more than two laps and before the last shooting range the blue Hannah Auchentaller (0-0-0-1) seemed able to aim for the big target but an error, the only one, in the last session of shooting and the excessive power on skis of the Czech forced her to have to settle for the Silver medal at 6.2 seconds.

It is precisely Blagoy Todev (1-0-0-0), who made his debut in the World Cup this year, to win the Silver medal at 14.1 while another Bronze arrives, after the one in the Sprint , for the Norwegian Uldal (0-0-2-1) at 33.7. The blue David Zingerle (0-0-2-1) is in the top positions until the first standing session where two errors cut him off the podium despite an exceptional last lap in which he recovers 22 seconds in Uldal.
