The powders were immediately lit the first polygon, since many have the wrong favorite. Dorothea Wierer was the only one to be immaculate output from the initial session. Laura dahlmeier and Gabriela Koukalová missed a target, while Kaisa Mäkäräinen and Marie Dorin Habert even 2.
The German has rebounded and is listed in the top positions thanks to a "zero" on the next roll on the ground, where instead the blue was wrong. They bounced back quotes also the Finnish and the French, in turn clean. Instead, he appeared out of the Czech game, forced to walk again the ominous ring.
Dahlmeier appeared very perky, because during the third round has managed to tread When returning sull''effimera Tatiana Akimova, unlike which has covered all the targets in the first session standing. Even the direct pursuers were wrong and the Bavarian was found with the match in hand, as he enjoyed half a minute margin over all the most dangerous opponents.
The twenty-three, however Teutonic has wasted the enormous advantage wrong the first two rounds of the final polygon. He has limited the damage, covering the following three targets, however, opening a door to the quartet formed behind him and made up Mäkäräinen Koukalová, ascents with arrogance, as Justine Braisaz and a Nadine Horchler still in perfect pitch. The occasion was only used by the Bohemian and second German line. The Finnish and the French were rather out of contention calls making mistakes.
Unexpectedly thirty Hessian has managed to keep the queues of well over twenty-seven listed in Jablonec nad Nisou, while their shoulders Dahlmeier has embarked on a desperate chase.
Everyone's surprise Horchler pulled off Koukalová near the finish line and went to win an incredible victory for several reasons. Primarily because of the caliber athlete, always a second line, so as to have its natural habitat in the cadet circuit and be used at the World Cup only at others' misfortunes (as happened in Antholz). Secondly because today should not even compete! It has indeed been able to take off only by virtue of the renunciation of Olga Podchufarova.
However Nadine in the past had proved to be a treat on the track in Antholz (in fact the best career results were arrived right here) and has unsheathed the performance of their own life in the context of her more favorable, building a resounding victory thanks to shooting and failings.
Dahlmeier the end had to settle in the place of honor, while Koukalová had no way to resist to the German and was accommodated in third place. Mäkäräinen finally finished fourth, just ahead of a Dorin Habert managed to climb to fifth coin.
A brilliant sixth Alexia Runggaldier, whose present placement probably has a specific gravity greater than the podium in the individual on Thursday, because today the conditions were the same for all, and the wind has not stirred the tables.
The Gardena was the only bright spot in the house Italian. Dorothea Wierer, after the initial fires, has slipped in seventeenth place because of its imprecision (0 + 1 + 2 + 1). Similarly Federica Sanfilippo (0 + 2 + 3 + 2) finished twenty-ninth after attending the noble districts of the standings in the very beginning.
