Indeed, who is celebrated in the overture seasonal Laura Dahmeier, author of a very solid performance. The twenty-three German set the fastest time of the day on the narrow skis and at the same time was able to optimally manage the range where it is able to contain 2 their mistakes, few considered the very difficult conditions of today.
The only opponent able to seriously worry the Bavarian was anaïs bescond, went one step from to break the bank. French was one of the few athletes able to shoot the best young athlete of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and finished without penalty at the closing session. Here, after 19 consecutive centers, he missed just the latest target of seeing dispelled the chance to establish itself. Output from the polygon with 8 "margin on the Teutonic, had no way to defend themselves from the usual fast final round of the Teutonic.
For Dahlmeier is the eighth career victory, the first in this format, the only one where he had not yet excelled.
The podium was completed between the general surprise by Darya Yurkevich, twenty-eight Belarussian that earlier today in the maximum circuit had never gone beyond the seventeenth position. The athlete of Minsk has now found the most classic "race of life", realizing for the first time a shoot-out that, given the present context, has had an enormous specific weight. In this way, he picked up a sensational third place, deserved reward for being the only one of the ninety-nine starters to have covered all the targets.
day of glory for Germany, since Franziska Preuss finished fourth and Vanessa Hinz tenth, both with three penalties. France, too, smiles, as a brilliant Justine Braisaz completed the top-five, proving to be further grown on the slopes.
Many under-25 in the noble positions of the standings. Besides the above mentioned Dahlmeier, Preuß and Braisaz also read by Austrian Lisa Theresa Hauser names (seventh), a Hanna Öberg stunning eighth debut in the World Cup on home snow and ukraine Yuliya Zhuravok, eleventh.
Altogether Russia can rake in a solid team performance, it did anything but certain given the circumstances, with four representatives among the first eighteen and revived Ekaterina Glazyrina even sixth and already competitive for the podium.
Long list of day defeats, among which are counted all Italian, you run into a real debacle. Only blue in the points is Dorothea Wierer, unable to read the wind and only thirty-seven because of errors (0 + 2 + 2 + 3). The only positive note for the twenty-six South Tyrolean, the fact of having made the sixth day of skiing performance. Alexia Runggaldier (0 + 1 + 3 + 1), Federica Sanfilippo (2 + 3 + 1 + 2) and Karin Oberhofer (2 + 1 + 1 + 1) totaled one after the other between the forty-ninth and fifty-first place just ahead of Lisa Vittozzi (0 + 2 + 3 + 3), fifty-ninth. instead it ended in the rear Nicole Gontier (2 + 4 + 2 + 4). It should however be noted as well as the pace of Sanfilippo and Vittozzi was not evil, then there is hope for a speedy redemption in Saturday's sprint, at least half of the Italian team.
Gabriela Koukalová, holder of the World Cup, finished seventeenth. But be careful, because the result is the son of seven penalties (six in the standing shooting). Competitiveness in the fund is to be first class. In this sense it is much more opaque evidence of Marie Dorin Habert, nineteenth with 5 missed targets. Kaisa Mäkäräinen - also suffered a crash - stood at twenty-fourth place, just ahead of Franziska Hildebrand.
They have remained more or less afloat Veronika Vitkova (ninth), Olena Pidhrushna (thirteenth) and Olga Podchufarova (fourteenth).
As a curiosity must be stressed the fact of having two Japanese while in the area to points. The usual Fuyuko Tachizaki (twenty-sixth) was added Sari Furuya (thirty-fifth).
Finally the recessed Svetlana Sleptsova and Anna Frolina have concluded thirty-second and thirty-eighth respectively. If for thirty Khanty-Mansiysk this result is anonymous, the thirty-two naturalized Korean brings a prestigious placement for his new nation.
Tomorrow, again at 18.00, will race for individual men. The girls will be back in action on Saturday at 11:45 with the sprint.
