Lukas Hofer and Sebastian Samuelsson maintain the advantage gained in yesterday's Sprint in the first lap while behind Johannes Boe catches Sturla Laegreid, direct opponent in the fight for the crystal ball. Samuelsson makes no mistake at the first shooting range on the ground while Lukas Hofer makes a mistake that leads him to chase after 25 seconds. Many are wrong and he takes advantage of it with a 5/5 Johannes Boe who finds himself in third position at 38.6 seconds, four ahead of his brother Tarjei and 21 over Laegreid.
Samuelsson misses twice and Lukas Hofer with a quick 5/5 finds himself in the lead with Johannes Boe, 5/5 also for lu9, at 9.7 seconds. The Swede is third at 15.6 ahead of Tarjei Boe at 20.3 and Laegreid at 37.3 who are not wrong. An unleashed Johannes Boe who smells a crystal ball goes to Hofer on top of the slope that precedes the slope towards the polygon.
The Norwegian makes no mistake while the blue has to go through the penalty lap twice; many are wrong and Hofer finds himself in second position at 40 seconds with a 20 advantage over Laegreid, Samuelsson and Lesser, who started with 33 and still 100% shooting. Tarjei Boe at 1.09.4 and Ponsiluoma at 1.11.5 are also online.
Johannes Boe made three mistakes while behind the only one to go 5/5 is Sturla Laegreid; Lukas Hofer misses the first target and found himself chasing with Boe at 16 seconds. The fight for the podium is restricted to them because Samuelsson and Ponsiluoma are over half a minute.
An unleashed Johannes Boe tries the impossible mission to hunt down the youngest teammate. At the finish line Sturla Laegreid (1-0-1-0), who wins the second Specialty Cup and leaps to the top of the World Cup standings, precedes Johannes Boe (0-0-0-3) by 22.6 seconds. Third place for Lukas Hofer (1-0-2-1) at 32.4; fourth Samuelsson (0-2-2-2) at 51.1, fifth an excellent Lesser (0-0-0-2) at 56.3
