The moment you select your partners, Dorothea Wierer and Karin Oberhofer & ndash; respectively first and second to choose & ndash; They have opted for Martin Fourcade and Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen (mica silly).
Tiril Eckhoff called the home favorite Anton Shipulin, who previously had expressed his will & agrave; to race together with Ekaterina Yurlova, with whom he won the event last year.
However, as opposed to twelve months ago, the organizers decided to remove any right of choice to men, giving the holding power exclusively to women.
Yurlova, unable to replicate the tandem with the & rsquo; enfant du pays, you & egrave; then headed by Fredrik Lindstr & ouml; m. Surprisingly Franziska Hildebrand called with enthusiasm to Jean Guillaume Beatrix, snubbing compatriot Simon Schempp, appeared little excited to come & ldquo; & rdquo hired; by Nadezhda Skardino.
Anastasia and Olga Zagoruiko Vilukhina have made a nationalist choice, making team with Anton and Evgeny Garanichev Babikov. Therefore Gabriela Soukalová you & egrave; automatically found together with Michal Šlesingr.
Once opened hostilities & agrave ;, five couples have been taken precedence over all others. In fact Wierer / Martin Fourcade, Oberhofer / Bj ø rndalen, Eckhoff / Shipulin, Yurlova / Lindstr & ouml; m and Bescond / Simon Fourcade proved far superior to the competition.
The quintet & ndash; without maintaining a stable & ndash physiognomy; & Egrave; remained substantially compact until the sixth polygon, the one standing in the second and final female fraction. Here Oberhofer & egrave; It was more & ugrave; precise of d & rsquo; traveling companions, on which gained ground, handing Bj ø rndalen a margin of a few seconds.
Norwegian veteran has kept at a distance his pursuers, with the exception of a wild Shipulin, managed to reach it. The final shooting session Scandinavian has to memorize options covered all targets, while the Russian has probably paid the effort wrong twice.
Oberhofer and Bj ø rndalen were therefore able to celebrate the success, while behind them the couple formed by Wierer and Martin Fourcade you & egrave; attested to d & rsquo; honor. One Shipulin furious & egrave; He was able to harpoon the pi & ugrave step; the bottom of the podium, bringing with s & eacute; Also Eckhoff, sverniciando in extremis French tandem composed Bescond and Simon Fourcade. & nbsp; Yurlova / Lindstr & ouml; m fell at the distance, finishing fifth. Much more & ugrave; disconnected all other competitors.
So on the podium of the race-exhibition are two Italian, two Norwegians, a French and a Russian.
