The Norwegian, pays a moderate fee for a standing mistake, overwhelms everyone with skis on his feet with sensational gaps recorded in the last lap and imposes himself largely in the Sprint that opened the World Cup closing weekend for men in Oslo. For the rest of the world the race was hard fought and portends a chase full of emotions for the day tomorrow. Behind the Norwegian alien that trims at least 30 seconds to all there are 5 biathletes in the space of 10 seconds: in front of everyone for the second step of the podium Lukas Hofer that with a 10/10 at the shooting range closes at 31 "7 from the winner and precedes by just over 3 seconds the French Quentin Fillon Maillet who in the first part of the last lap recovers 15 seconds to the blue that at the exit from the second polygon boasted 18 of advantage but must surrender and settle for third place .
In a matter of seconds, the Austrian Julian Eberhard also closes who, despite two mistakes, only loses on his skis by Johannes Boe (about twenty seconds) and is fourth at 38 "3 ahead of the Norwegian Tarjei Boe by 2 tenths (an error for him) and a second Benedikt Doll, two rounds of penalties and the same high rhythm of the Austrian on the track. In view of the Pursuit of tomorrow, above all with a view on the second square, we cannot forget a group, rather thick, of biathletes who will start at about thirty seconds from Lukas Hofer. The Frenchman Simon Desthieux, with an error per polygon, is seventh at 51 "2 from Johannes Boe and precedes by 8 tenths Arnd Peiffer (1 + 1) and one second the Russian Alexander Loginov (1 + 0). The 22-year-old Tyrolean Felix Leitner, who pays 54 "7 with a 10/10 at the shooting range, eleventh at 59" is the tenth for the first time in his career. Philipp Nawrath (0 + 1), twelfth Vetle Sjastaad Christiansen (0 + 1) and thirteenth at 1''01 "2 Dominik Windisch who pays a mistake standing but recovers 5 positions on the last lap.
