The Belarusian fact had no rivals and is set by a wide margin on the second place for the first time this season, the thirteenth in his career, despite an error. Piazza'' s an honor to Kaisa Mäkäräinen plagued by the usual problems standing.
The Finnish, very handsome as always in the background and accurate to the ground, he was wrong twice in the second shooting session and paid 29 "8 to the winner but at least was able to be right in the final round of Olena Pidhrushna, instead of perfect pitch .'' The Ukrainian finished third at 36 "4.
The fight for the podium was really unexciting because the gaps were very high. Consider that a Tora Berger had to go three times a'' ring of penalty concluded in the fourth over a minute to Domracheva, obviously favored in view of the'' pursuit of tomorrow, which will take place from 17.00.
Overall, the big circuit are back at the top, while it was a day-no for the protagonists of December. Gabriela Soukalova (4 errors) concluded twenty-sixth, Irina Starykh (2) twentieth, Selina Gasarin (4) Thirty-fourth, however, clearly beaten by younger sister Elisa (nineteenth with two missed targets).
Despite all Soukalova remains yellow bib with 249 points with Valj Semerenko, today a good sixth, and Starykh 246. Gasparin is fourth with 223 to 223 Pidhrushna fifth and sixth Mäkäräinen to 207. Berger and Domracheva are at an altitude of 178 and 176 respectively.
Returning to the competition must be stressed today'' s excellent result of Dorothea Wierer, piazzatasi in ninth place with an error. This is the third appearance in the top ten for the'' blue, the only Italian team to have sharp points. Karin Oberhofer (3) has concluded forty-first, while Alexia Runggaldier (4) sixty seventh.
Finally, it is interesting to note that the superpowers have been saved from the second line. The hosts Germany has raised very little, except for the'' excellent seventh place Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle. The best Russian instead was Yana Romanova, eleventh.
