The medal 'gold & egrave; was won by Germany formed by Erik Lesser, Daniel B & ouml; hm, Simon Schempp and Arnd Peiffer. The first two runners have done their homework very well, then & egrave; Peiffer was to shift the balance in favor of the Teutonic finding zero shooting (something rare for him) and keeping a high pace in the final round. A close Schempp has "raised the interest" of the "capital" filed by the twenty-eight of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, to which must be awarded the title of MVP of the day.
Consequently Germany back to win a world title in the men's relay after 11 years, & nbsp; steps up on pi & ugrave; top of the podium of a main event for the first time the Olympic Games in Turin in 2006 and prevents Norway to equal the record of five consecutive world belonging all''Unione Soviet successes.
The Norwegians, impostisi the last four editions, now had to settle dell''argento. Great launch Ole Einar Bj & oslash; rndalen but Tarjei B & oslash; has lost ground to the polygon mulling standing where he had to use all the refills to save dall''anello of penalty payment agrave ;. AFTER THAT & eacute; Johannes B & oslash ;, in this winter often decisive for the fortunes of the Scandinavian runners, today has not shone. A close Emil Hegle Svendsen confirmed its difficulties & agrave; seasonal skiing close must be limited to defend the place of 'honor without ever represent a serious threat to Schempp. However difficult things would have turned out differently if the twenty-nine of Trondheim had not fallen to the ground after the shot.
In any case, the second allows Ole Einar Bj & oslash; rndalen reach un''ulteriore milestone Since & eacute; today quarantunenne took his fortieth medal World Championships (19 gold, 12 silver, 9 bronze).
Bronze & egrave; been the preserve of France consisting of Simon Fourcade, Jean Guillaume Beatrix, Quentin Fillon Maillet and Martin Fourcade (which are about to become a father). Confirming the trend of Kontiolahti 2015 the two brothers Catalans to hold high the banner Alps, while the rest of the team is struggling exceedingly in the fund. & Nbsp;
Very big disappointment for Russia, winner of three of the five relay teams played in the season, but today the fourth and then remained high and dry. Lethal to the ambitions of the coin & egrave; was the polygon ground Evgeny Garanichev, finished nell''anello of penalty payment agrave ;. The rest of the team (Malyshko, Volkov, Shipulin) non & egrave; managed to clear the loss of leading to the launch. The twenty-seven stationed in Tyumen not star & agrave; passing some beautiful moments because & eacute; gi & agrave; two years ago in Nove Mesto combin & ograve; a disaster to strike priv & ograve; Russia medal and just mindful of this fact, last year the coaching staff decided to exclude it from the quartet then dell''oro Olympic winner. Just as for the Czech Republic to the female, success in the World Cup redundant relay does not compensate certain debacle today.
The values ​​seen during the 'winter underway were confirmed Since & eacute; Austria and the Czech Republic have closed the fifth and sixth, while the rest of the world & egrave; staccatissimo arrived. For the 'Italian & egrave; came a mediocre twelfth place where the 'only light & egrave; good fraction of Lukas Hofer. True that the Blues have changed in the leading group in half & agrave; race, but should not be forgotten as the two athletes pi & ugrave; in the form have been deployed just in the first two segments.
Too easy to throw the blame on Thomas Bormolini, finished nell''anello of penalty payment Since agrave ;, & eacute; even without the mess to pull the 'Italy could aspire to the maximum to bring Switzerland and Slovenia, respectively, seventh and eighth at the finish. The reality & agrave; & Egrave; that the men's team has experienced a total of winter very complicated and at this point will have & agrave; almost certainly face 2015 - '' 16 with a contingent of only 4 pecs. This is not a problem recently Because & eacute; will reduce & agrave; much room for maneuver in the rotation of the athletes, especially in the case of exploits in the circuit cadet.
