The thirty-one Norwegian had not forfeited in'' individual yesterday, but what has been done today goes beyond all expectations. Flatland was in fact among the best of the day in the bottom (third fastest time in less than two seconds from Domracheva) and found the usual precision polygon has managed to gain authority with his second win after that obtained with a performance equally unexpected in Oberhof in January 2011. Square of honor'' to 15 "9 to Olga Zaitseva (0 errors) that touches share this podium with 43 career becoming the number ten all-times. Veteran Moscow led a great team performance'' of Russia who placed also the'' waiting Irina Starykh in fifth place and revived Ekaterina Iourieva the seventh. Excellent day for Norway because in addition to the success of Flatland also came in third place Tora Berger (1) and the'' eighth SynnÃ¸ve Solemdal (1). Basically six of the first eight positions were won by Norwegian and Russian. The only exceptions are the Belarusian Darya Domracheva (1) and Czech Gabriela Soukalova (1). The twenty-seven of Minsk as said it was the best in the bottom, but unlike the 15 km did not quell'' impression of omnipotence in this component. The twenty-four of Jablonec nad Nisou has instead turned the usual test very solid. Regarding the Norway should be emphasized as the head coach Per-Arne Botnan had said "worried" after the result of the individual''. Had it been an optimist who knows what would have happened today ... L'' Italian'' after the historic outcome of the individual is caught in a negative test because no blue has finished in the points. The best was Dorothea Wierer (2), and forty. Karin Oberhofer (3) closed forty-seventh and Michela Ponza (2) fifty-second. These three athletes will race on Sunday in pursuit'' [11.30] to which they have instead gained access Alexia Runggaldier (2) eightieth and Nicole Gontier (4) Eighty-sixth. In short, no half measures for the Italian team in this first part of the season. Day-not even for Germany. Andrea Henkel (1), the best of German, concluded thirteenth. At least they got their first points in the career of Franziska Preuss, twenty-seventh despite two errors. Among the big finite distant districts of the standings must be reported Kaisa MÃ¤kÃ¤rÃ¤inen, who went on to fight with the polygon (3 penalties) closing twentieth, and Marie Laure Brunet (1) that it is instead placed fifteenth.
