Biathlon: Germany dominates the Nove Mesto men's relay

A sumptuous Germany imposes itself in the male relay of Nove Mesto with unusual detachments on the opponents. Bad day at the shooting range for Italy that uses 15 refills and goes through a penalty lap.

They are Eric Lesser (0 + 2) and Sturla Holm Laegreid (0 + 0) to make the loud voice in the opening leg with the German who comes at the exchange with 3.9 seconds ahead of Norway. Czech Krcmar (0 + 1) is at 6.4, Guigonnat (0 + 2) at 13.8. Didier Bionaz (0 + 2) is ninth at 54 seconds shoulder to shoulder with the Russian Khalili (0 + 3). In the middle fifth Dovzan (0 + 0) for Slovenia preceding the American Doherty (0 + 2), the Austrian Komatz (0 + 1) and the Finnish Harjula (0 + 2). Benedikt Doll (0 + 1) keeps the lead in the second half with 10.1 seconds ahead of Quentin Fillon Maillet (0 + 1). Ukrainian Pidruchnyi (0 + 0), Jakov Fak (0 + 1) and Simon Eder (0 + 0) follow at 45 seconds. Belarus (0 + 2) is sixth, in the middle of the race, at 57.5 with Eliseev's Russia (0 + 0). The Norwegian Johannes Dale (1 + 3) goes around with a penalty in the standing range and finds himself one minute from the head of the race, where he precedes Lukas Hofer (0 + 3) by 5 seconds. An excellent Arnd Peiffer (0 + 1) continues the work of the Teutonic team and arrives at the last change with 36.7 seconds ahead of Simon Desthieux (0 + 3); Leitner (0 + 2) with Austira is at 1.39.7, Tarjei Boe (1 + 3), Tommaso Giacomel (0 + 4), Bauer (0 + 3) and Loginov (0 + 4) just under two minutes. At the first polygon of the last fraction the collapse of France is consumed with Emilien Jacquelin who scores only the eighth shot of the sequence, paying four rounds of penalty and the German Phillip Nawrath (0 + 1) takes advantage of it to fly towards a great victory with abysmal gaps while standing up also Johannes Boe (1 + 3) and the Russian Latypov (0 + 0) takes advantage of it Windisch (1 + 6) does not take advantage of the opportunity and must, too, take a lap penalty. On the finish line Germany (0 + 5) has 1.21.7 ahead of Russia (0 + 8), third Norway (3 + 9) at 1.33.2. Slovenia (0 + 8) is fourth at 2.13.2 ahead of France (4 + 9) and Austria (0 + 5). An Ialia in a day to forget at the shooting range (1 + 15) is seventh at 2.48.1.
