As occurred in the sprint, the transalpine party rather controlled, seeing progressively reduced the margin it enjoyed at the start. In contrast, the Russian began in a arrembante, firing faster than Catalan and joining him in the second round. Norway's Emil Hegle Svendsen and Johannes Bø are not however managed to get close to the leading tandem, remaining in a water bath, trailing by 20 seconds.
With perfect weather conditions errors have short supply and the test has become a kind of shooting competition, without major upheavals in the first positions.
Fourcade and Shipulin proceeded in agreement until the last shooting range, where the French - until then less effective when the Russian in speed of execution - has found a quick zero. The twenty-nine instead of Tyumen has missed a target and had to raise the white flag.
For the twenty-eight of Fort Romeu, able to lift the 'rod just when most counts, the count says 53 victories and 98 podium finishes, but especially with this success the 1988 class reaches 200 top-three. It remains ahead of only 1974 with 287.
Shipulin it is seen joined by Svendsen, his part in perfect pitch. The balance between the two is not broken and the place of honor was decided in the final sprint, where the Scandinavian thirty-one was more rapid. So best result of the season for the northern, while Anton consoles himself with the 33th podium of his career, a milestone that allows him to become the Russian with most placings in the top-three in the World Cup, surpassing Vladimir Dratchev.
An opaque Johannes Bø finished fourth, also paying a double penalty the last session. Quinto Simon Schempp, still far from his best version. It should be highlighted the resounding Michael Rosch sixth position. The thirty-three German naturalized Belgian has found the best result since time immemorial, realizing for the second time in his career a shoot-out. The only date he arrived in January 2007 just Pokljuka.
On the subject of comebacks should be highlighted that the Norwegian Lars Helge Birkeland, able to conclude thirteenth recovering 19 squares than that of departure. Very well Julian Eberhard, 21 ° with a +26 differential.
