The thirty-six of Großbreitenbach has ever sailed in top positions building up his victory at the shooting range, where he has not missed any target,'' and in the last round has resisted the return of a Nadezhda Skardino never seen so competitive on tight.
The Belarusian (in turn impeccable pitch) paid much slower execution times, which have left 10 "behind the Teutonic'' s exit from the polygon and have proved fatal in the rat race. Should be remarked how the twenty-eight native of St. Petersburg (but based in Minsk) in January has covered 70 out of 70 targets!
The podium was completed by Tora Berger, rising strongly due to its "usual" last lap to scream. The Norwegian overcame compatriot Tiril Eckhoff, fourth, and Darya Domracheva again too clumsy to throw up. The leaders of the movement Belarusian enjoyed a huge advantage on the ground after the shooting, after he missed four targets, finishing fifth.
Another "victim" of the polygons is standing Kaisa Mäkäräinen. Perfect in the first three sessions, but then had to go three times a'' ring'' after the last penalty. The Finn finished ninth, also preceded by a Teja Gregorin the best result of the season, by Laura Dahlmeier (+14 positions recovered) and Anastasiya Kuzmina.
The top ten was completed by Chaoqing Song, therefore China back in the top 10 of the World Cup after more than two years. The winner of the sprint Anais Bescond arrived at the shooting range in the final race for success, but missed four times and is precipitated'' s eleventh place.
At home Italy Dorothea Wierer (2 errors) concluded twentieth gaining six positions compared to the original one. Michela Ponza (1) has raised a punticino, while Federica Sanfilippo (3) was placed forty-getting the best career result in the maximum circuit.
In light of the failure to qualify for Gabriela Soukalova'' s pursuit, the yellow bib passes on the shoulders of Tora Berger. The Norwegian leads the overall World Cup with 461 points against 455 of Domracheva, 444 and 426 of Mäkäräinen of Soukalova.
Regarding the ranking of specialties, Mäkäräinen gets hold of the red bib with 187 points, followed by Berger and Eckhoff to 171.
