Amongst the men, Johannes Thingnes Bø made a big voice, first setting himself in precision competition with the impressive 15 "7 crunch. After that, he also made the start of the line, where he made a point thanks to a remarkable step on the skiroll.
The twenty-four-year-old Norwegian started badly, mistakenly three times in the opening. However, he has not made any mistakes and he has been able to relocate Emil Hegle Svendsen, who has been defeated by the fellow countryman despite shooting the shoot-out!
Lower podium stage for Lars Helge Birkeland, able to slip the third position thanks to a "zero" at the last polygon that allowed him to surpass Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen and Andrejs Rastorgujevs.
Try to forget about Tarjei Bø who, after completing the test to pull behind his brother, is completely lost in the mass start, missing 12 targets!

Strongly less anticipated protagonist among women. The day-old star turned out to be Thekla Brun-Lie, who, after knocking on the shotgun, stepped up the precision and also won the mass start.
The 25-year-old (eternal) promise of the Norwegian biathlon made a single mistake, resulting in the best in the final. Honor of honor for Marie Dorin Habert, charged with four penalties, while the podium was completed by Mars Olsbu.
The return of Ekaterina Yurlova, now also garnished with the double name Percht, placed fourth just ahead of the French Justine Braisaz and Anais Bescond.
