Both went to Anterselva to get on the podium in all the races and win one or more world titles. But for the moment things have not gone according to plan. Boe, after remaining at the foot of the podium in the Sprint, made a mockery of Jacquelin in the Pursuit, losing the opportunity to win the first world title in the format. Fourcade, on the other hand, has once again shown that it suffers from the rival's presence in the race and has to face internal competition of a frightening level.
The two shared the seasonal victories in the format and presented themselves as favorites on the starting tapes. The Frenchman, winner at the beginning of December in the test of Oestersund, starts with the 30, the Norwegian, back from the success of Pokljuka has instead caught the 54.
The other pretenders to the podium, with the exception of Loginov (7), also chose the second group. Tarjei Boe will have 21, Simon Desthieux on 37, world title holder Arnd Peiffer on 45, Benedikt Doll on 47 and Quentin Fillon Maillet on 51.
The blue staff confirmed Dominik Windisch (10), Lukas Hofer (41) and Thomas Bormolini (67). The news is instead Thierry Chenal, competing with 92.

Un anno fa vivevamo il dramma di Matteo Franzoso: a La Parva un incidente che mai sarebbe dovuto accadere
Era il 13 settembre 2025 quando, in quel maledetto sabato mattina in Cile, il velocista ligure finì a velocità elevatissima contro una staccionata, troppo vicina a bordo pista (e ora non più presente per gli allenamenti delle nazionali presenti anche quest'anno nella località). Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
