Instead, the twenty-year old has no more mistakes, while many opponents quoted (on all Russian Povarnitsyn) were wrong to repeat. Leren then saw the race "meet him" with the only Aristide Bègue to pose a threat to his leadership. Indeed, the Frenchman was the perfect shot, but he was not enough to excel.
'' The athlete Fort Romeu could not counteract the Norwegian having to settle in the bottom of the madaglia'' s silver, beaten at the finish line for a second after being out with a distinct advantage in the final polygon. Bronze medal for another trans, Dany Chavoutier, author of a mistake on the first shot, on the other hand instead managed to defend himself in the final round by the return of Czech Tomas Vojik, relegated to fourth place.
