As announced in recent days, the glacial temperatures have forced the Ibu to shorten the race from 20 km to 15 km, with a reduced penalty to 45 ". Today the climate has granted a slight respite to athletes and organization, and so the program has been held regularly. However, for the next few days there may be further changes.
Johannes Bø with the bib number five started immediately at full speed, entering the first polygon with a very large margin against the competition. In the second round the cannibal norge held an unsustainable rhythm for everyone and in the standing series he decided to give a shooting lesson to the opponents, finding the "zero" with disarming speed. After walking in the third and fourth rounds, he had no problems covering the remaining ten targets accurately. For the leader of the general classification the 34th success in his career has arrived, the 12th season. The victories in the format are instead three.
Behind, the race of the "humans" was won by another Norwegian, Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen, who after making a mistake at the opening, in the third round was glued to the tails of the compatriot, with whom he then ran parallel. In the last series missed another target, closing with a gap of 2''10 "from the teammate, an abyss.
Alexander Loginov, with a good second half of the race, won the lowest step of the podium. The Russian, twice inaccurate in the first two series, was then perfect on the final ten targets, finishing 3rd at 2''41 "from the winner and preceding Lars Helge Birkeland (4th) by about ten seconds.
Good performance among the blues for Dominik Windisch, fighting for the podium until the last series, in which he made a mistake. The blue on the finish line finished 5th, just ahead of Simon Eder 6th, Simon Fourcade 7th and Erik Lesser 8th. Martin Fourcade did not take the lead.
