The twenty six year old native of Lower Normandy, but moved to Morbier, has created one of his occasional exploits that today, instead consist of a placement of prestige, has turned into victory by virtue of a step on the slopes of the errors committed and impressive listed from most athletes. The French missed one target standing ahead of 6 "7 Andrea Henkel, impeccable pitch and able to give to Germany's first podium of the season, and 10" 1 Darya Domracheva, once again too foul to the final polygon. The Belarusian game with bib top and then conscious of the results of others, however, has made two mistakes and wasted the opportunity to establish itself''. At least twenty-seven of the Minsk managed to get on the lowest rung of the podium thanks to a particularly incisive final round where he climbed over a few tenths of the U.S. Susan Dunklee (the best result of his career) and the Russian Yana Romanova. Quest'' last, unbelievably, he should not even take part in the race as they placed in the start list in place of the ill Olga Zaitseva few hours before the start. Sixth place for Tora Berger, who has paid too much to throw an error as well as the more convincing Franziska Preuss, seventh. Among the big Kaisa MÃ¤kÃ¤rÃ¤inen finished ninth wrong twice on the ground, but by straightening his test with a polygon in perfect feet. Two errors for Anastasiya Kuzmina, sixteenth. Bad day instead for Gabriela Soukalova. The Czech Republic has had a problem with the rifle and missed four targets, finishing first 71 ^ before undergoing a painless disqualification for violating safety rules (probably in an attempt to resolve the trouble has not kept the gun pointed steadily towards the polygon). Chapter Italy. The best was Dorothea Wierer (0 +2), twenty-sixth and author of an error too in order to be competitive in the fight for the top positions. At points Michela Ponza (0 +0), thirty-second, and able to sign the faultless race number 53 of his career. The record holder Ricco Gross is now distant six lengths. Fair evidence of Federica Sanfilippo (1 +1), fifty-sixth, who centered the'' objective'' to take part in tracking which will take place Saturday from 11:45 am, which instead will not participate Alexia Runggaldier (1 + 1) seventy. The overall standings of the World Cup sees Soukalova still leading with 426 points, but the Czech is bound to lose the yellow bib in less than forty-eight hours.
