Hochfilzen World Cup - Race to the Mass Start Men. Dominik Windisch in brawl

At the end of the sprint and pursuit it is right to take stock of the situation nell''ottica the mass start men's qualification of Hochfilzen World Cup. It should be recalled that in the demonstrations iridescent the qualification system at the starting line is different from that used in the World Cup.

In fact, 30 bibs are assigned according to the following criteria: 1) Athletes went to medal in the sprint, individual pursuit and qualify automatically; 2) Even the athletes included in the top 15 positions in the general classification at the end dell''individuale, but without medals, they are entitled to participate; 3) remaining seats (from a theoretical minimum of 5 to a theoretical maximum of 15), are assigned to athletes who have achieved the highest number of points in the sprint, pursuit and individual; 4) in the event the defending champion has not fulfilled one of the three previous criteria, will still have the right to leave. If it is already qualified, then the thirtieth and last place is then assigned based on the criterion 3). Regarding point 3) it is good to note that since it was introduced the 'current scoring system (2008 -' '09), ticket for the mass start has been disconnected with values ​​ranging between 44 and 34 points. Therefore we can say that 45 points represent the safety threshold, although it could be enough a lower level. It should be remarked how every nation is entitled to a maximum quota (4 athletes, 5 if you have the defending champion). If it were to qualify relay more, engineers will have to make a choice and decide who to exclude. If this situation were to occur, then the 31 ° gain access to the mass start. Below here is the current situation. LEGEND: In dark green are indicated athletes have certainly qualified through criteria 1) In those qualified green matematicamene by criterion 2) In teal ones in fact qualified by criteria 3) The red line indicates the 'current the 30 virtual cut. ================================================== ===== already definitely assigned, then 11 chest to which are added 7 in fact decided. The fight is open for already past 12. Home Italy Dominik Windisch is not yet certain to attend, but his presence seems quite likely. On the 'other hand, when you qualify through the overall standings, but has also already collected 39 points. Therefore it should be enough make some punticino nell''individuale digiovedì. The rest of the team will instead need an exploit at least the first five / six positions to aspire to tear the ticket for Sunday's 19 proof.
