Martin Fourcade dominates the sprint stersund

After the success in the individual on Thursday, Martin Fourcade won on Ã–stersund snows also the sprint race. If at the first individual race of the season the Frenchman he had given something to the shooting range, missing two targets, today was completely unplayable, finding zero shooting and posting the second time on skis. Better than he has done, for 7/10, Julian Eberhard, who has, however, committed two errors.

Fourcade has dug between himself and his opponents a gap of more than 40 '', thus also guaranteeing a good lead in the chase for tomorrow. For several minutes, to act as valets to the French on the podium were Arnd Peiffer, too perfect to throw, and Benedikt Doll, who has played a safe second position with an error in the foot. 0 at the range, however, has allowed Dominik Windisch and Fredrik LindstrÃ¶m to threaten the positions of the two Germans, clocking similar times after the second shooting session. The recent exploits in the final laps authorizing imagine that the blue is avviasse toward the first podium of his career in a sprint. For once, the South Tyrolean has instead suffered last round, giving way to the opponents and also undergoing the passing of a man possessed Eberhard in the last third of the race. The showdown was expected from Windisch came instead from LindstrÃ¶m, which burned for a few seconds the two Germans. Cleaning to the shooting, in a much less disturbed by the wind than the previous day, gave a prestigious placement also Babikov, seventh and best of the Russians, Desthieux, eighth, Pidruchniy, ninth, and Tsvetkov, tenth tied with Simon Fourcade, it slowed instead of a penalty. It will not escape the lack in bulk from the top 10 in Norway, which saw the almost 43-year old Bjoerndalen, the twelfth, the best of her. Shortly behind Svendsen (0 + 1), the fourteenth, for which the fourth time on skis goes still reported. Two missed targets at the shooting range and unusually lethargic times have done instead plunging Johannes Thingnes BÃ¸ in thirtieth place. Among the disappointed even the day Simon Schempp (1 + 0), twenty-first, and Anton Schipulin, twenty-eighth with two errors. Today's victory is significant for Fourcade also statistically: it is the 12th in the last sixteen races in Ã–stersund, and allows him to hoist himself alone in the lead of the standings multi-winners in the Swedish town, pulling Bjoerndalen. The calculation of the successes in top level competitions to 51 rooms. As regards the Italian colors, excellent evidence of Windisch is counterbalanced by that of the other opaque. Lukas Hofer has been effectively cut off from the fight for the top positions ringed by two penalties in the first shooting session. After a further error in feet, a brilliant last lap allowed him to catch the last available place for points. Thomas Bormolini (1 + 1) finished in 71st position. 84simo Joseph Montello (0 + 2).
