In the sprint Tcherezov disputed on Saturday despite an exciting step on skiroll has not gone beyond the sixth place due to three shooting errors. The race was won by Sergei Bocharnikov surprise, twenty-five ever seen so far in the World Cup, in front of the rising star of Russian biathlon Alexander Loginov.
Third place for the twenty-two Alexey Kornev which preceded it by a narrow margin Nikolay Pankratov. The thirty-one former long-distance runner, twice a medal in the relay at the World Cup, it is given to the biathlon once the two-year ban triggered by the fact that they were stopped at the border between Austria and Switzerland with a significant amount of vials of a prohibited drug.
Tcherezov was, however, rebuilt in the individual. The now thirty-three of Izhevsk has dominated the competition in front of the twenty Maxim Tsvetkov, another young man to follow with great interest, and Andrei Makoveev.
The big movement (Shipulin, Ustyugov, Malyshko and Garanichev) have never been in the top six, but it is likely to think that they have arrived at these national championships in a different physical condition than their compatriots, as already some of the breastplate stages in the World Cup in December.
A Tcherezov at the top would be immovable, the born 1992 Loginov and Tsvetkov jostle to emerge, the inconstant Makoveev, Volkov and Slepov can get results that would justify their presence in the maximum circuit.
Basically 10 athletes seem destined to play for 6 people. All this without forgetting possible explosion of the last hour (see Bocharnikov or Pankratov). Will be very hot within the Russian team, whose management is becoming more problematic.
