And the favorite can only be Johannes Boe, ousted in the 20 km by the youngest compatriot Sturla Holm Laegreid, but eager to take back the throne of dominator of the circuit and the yellow bib. To do this, he will have to work on the speed of shooting, which was fundamental which forced him into second place yesterday.
For his part, Laegreid will try to reconfirm himself in the top positions and continue in his magical moment of shooting: until now in the World Cup the norge is an infallible sniper and boasts an exceptional 79/80. Among the Norwegians, Tarjei Boe, who appeared to be in excellent shape, will also be worth keeping an eye on, while he is called to redeem after an opaque Christiansen test.
Here the complete Start List.
Here the IBU live timing.
However, the transalpine Fillon Maillet and Jacquelin, who remained dry in the Individual, and the Russian Loginov, already on the ball from the pitch and looking for the best pace on skis, also fall into the list of candidates for the podium. Attention also to the Swedes Samuelsson and Ponsiluoma, already in condition in the fund and to the German Doll, who could exalt himself in the format more congenial to him.
Chapter Italy: Hofer, after a good debut, could further raise the bar and as far as he is concerned, the top 10 seems within reach. Top 50 goal instead for Bionaz and Braunhofer. Good news comes from Windisch and Bormolini, who have obtained the green light to return to the group and on Tuesday they will leave for Finland.
