The masterpiece of France is built on the foundations of a lavish lap of Marie Dorin Habert, that although has to resort to a charging does 20 seconds at all rivals, and, if possible, to an even greater performance thanks to anaïs bescond which at the mid-race mark France presents 40 seconds ahead of Germany and more than a minute on the rest of the lot. The male ward we have to handle the situation, Simon Desthieux and Quentin Fillot-Maillet grant the possibility of returning to his challengers who do not take advantage. The two ground mistakes of the first enable Benedikt Doll of take up to 12 seconds off the pace throwing everything up in the recovery session where the two additional French-ups followed by two errors by the German. Fillon Maillet pays the pressure on the top polygon with refills the first of which costs seconds for a jam but Arnd Peiffer did not know to take advantage wrong turn.
France at the finish line comes with an advantage of about fifteen seconds on an experimental Germany not too convincing: Nadine Horchler (0 + 2) is slow skiing, the guys said he was; the prize for best lap goes to Maren Hammerschmidt, the level of Bescond and Starykh in its segment, with only two refills on the ground.
The third place goes to the Ukraine for a convincing once in all fractions. Iryna Varvynets takes his satisfaction, with 100% shooting, to be the first human to launch; Abramova defends despite finds himself with his back to the wall on the first polygon, Sergey Semenov, a single charge, keeps the team on the podium position and Dmitro Pidruchnyi holds the push of a arrembante Garanichev who joined him on the top polygon but comes out with recharges more on the rump for the Ukrainian third place and fourth place in Russia where the best was Irina Starykh.
And '' only a fifth Norway almost complete with Mars Olsbu, Tiril Eckhoff, Johannes Thingnes Boe and Emil Hegle Svendsen. The departure is a handicap with two rounds of Olsbu, turning once even Tiril Eckhoff: half Norway is quattrodicesima to two and a half minutes from France. Johannes Boe and Svendsen do our best, get the fastest time in their fractions, halved the deficit but the situation is now compromised.
The 'Italy is seventh in 1''31 ​​"from France: the launch of Dorothea Wierer, with an error on the first throw of the competition, is unobtrusive with the' blue that gives the change between the first pursuers of Marie Dorin. Federica Sanfilippo holds well in the first two rounds but pays a penalty turn standing. Italian eighth after the first half of Russia in the group. Joseph Montello with three refills standing does his, Dominik Windisch pays duty shooting (0 + 4).
