From the beginning, Johannes Thingnes Bø has kept a pace on his skis above his opponents. During the first lap he increased the margin on his pursuers by 20 "and after finding the" zero "from the stand, he moved to the middle with 47" on Lukas Hofer, Benedikt Doll and his brother Tarjei, all accurate to the range. Instead, Fillon Maillet and Eberhard were delayed, forced to move towards the penalty ring.
After a second interlocutory round, in which the gaps remained unchanged, the race reopened at the range, where Johannes Bø lost several seconds in range time and made two mistakes. Despite this the Scandinavian champion has maintained 16 "advantage over the couple Hofer-Tarjei Bø. He has instead some Benedikt Doll position, inaccurate on the second target.
Even in the third lap the tread did not make the skis empty, but unlike what happened in the last few races, standing has found a quick and precise series. Behind him, Hofer missed two targets, slipping into 7th place. In the second position the eldest of the Bø brothers, then 19 â€, remained therefore in solitary.
In the final series the wind increased in intensity but Johannes was patient and calmly found a precious 4 out of 5. Behind Tarjei had the opportunity to mend the gap but he also missed a target. The gap between the two is therefore not changed. In the last round Tarjei had no problems keeping the chasing pair formed by Leitner and Peiffer at a distance.
So double for Norway and for the Bø family. A significant day for Johannes who set the record for seasonal victories (15) and won the third specialty cup.
In the last few hundred meters Peiffer won the duel for third place, putting the young Austrian Leitner behind him, fourth at the finish line. Fifth place for another Norwegian Christiansen, while he closed 6th Lukas Hofer.
The complete report soon.
