ATTUALITA''La stage in Hochfilzen allowed Martin Fourcade to win, for the first time nell''annata 2014 - '' 15, the yellow bib of overall leader. The Frenchman then needed only four races to remount the detachment maximum accumulated by Emil Hegle Svendsen of nell''individuale & Öland; stersund.
Now the French tenter & agrave; to stretch, and especially to dispel the tab & ugrave; -Pokljuka, resort & agrave; where throughout his career not & egrave; never managed to win. You will see & agrave; if Svendsen, until now relatively opaque skiing tight, reagir & agrave; to overtake and "give & agrave; battle" to transalpine as promised ten days ago.
However, should not be underestimated Jakov Fak, third overall just 20 points from Fourcade. After partially punctured the initial test, just like Catalan, not & egrave; never left the top five and has openly stated that it has scheduled a peak form just at the stage of home. Chiss & agrave; that with a little '' of luck can not put the yellow bib under the 'tree.
As for the 'Italian movement male & egrave; still looking for the key to the problem. Lukas Hofer is experiencing a first glimpse of winter exceedingly suffered, probably son of ailments had in the fall, and Dominik Windisch, the l & agrave; the good performance of nell''individuale & Öland; stersund, has very low percentages.
Moreover in Slovenia will come & agrave; granted a turn off to the amazing Thomas Bormolini, only happy note of the team in the last three weeks. It is hoped that the two tips, cos & Igrave; as some "second line", may show signs of recovery in such a way to get at least with un''iniezione trust the Christmas break.
& Nbsp;
STORIAPokljuka pu & ograve; be called a sort of jolly set within the calendar of the World Cup biathlon Since & eacute ;, having made its appearance in 1992, & nbsp; has never found a resting place, in and out continuously by schedule of maximum circuit and often changing their position in time history dell''inverno.
In fact the pi & ugrave; of the time you & egrave; competed in December, as in quest''annata, but there are also stages played in January and especially in March, that occurred during the last winter. Therefore nell''anno Solar 2014 Pokljuka hosts two stages of the World Cup from two different competitive seasons. This is not an unusual Since & eacute; the 'event had already & agrave; occurred in 2001 and 2007.Sino at this moment in Pokljuka were sailed 45 races male individual first level (10 twenty kilometers, 17 sprint, 11 chases, 7 mass start), including five with iridescent value (one for each format in 2001 to which is added the pursuit in 1998 AFFECT & ograve; world title since all''epoca not included in the Olympic program).
Are 25 athletes with at least one victory. Obviously those with the greatest number of steps pi & ugrave; top of the podium & egrave; the usual Ole Einar Bj & oslash; rndalen, it imposed on 5 occasions, one in pi & ugrave; Raphael Poir & eacute; e Vladimir Dratchev.
Seven men in business & agrave; to have excelled at least once. To gi & agrave; cited Bj & oslash; rndalen (5) adding the Norwegian Emil Hegle Svendsen (2); Russians Ivan Tcherezov and & nbsp; Anton Shipulin, the 'Austrian Daniel Mesotitsch, Slovenian Jakov Fak, and German Andreas Birnbacher (1).
We already & agrave; noted as & nbsp; Martin Fourcade has never won nell''impianto Slovenian, stopping once in second place and third twice.
On the subject of nations to step on Pokjuka pi & ugrave; top of the podium nine different flags waved. The interesting fact & egrave; that the country pi & ugrave; winning absolute & egrave; Russia, with 12 hits, which in March climbed over Norway, followed by stops at 11. France (6); Germany (5); Austria (4); Sweden (3), Belarus (2); Finland and Austria (1).
The 'then Italy has never won and generally not & egrave; never taken great satisfaction in Pokljuka. The exception is the medal 'silver in the sprint world championship in 2001, obtained from Ren & egrave; Cattarinussi, the day of what is still today & egrave; the 'single podium blue male in Slovenia. & nbsp;
CURIOSITY '' - Shipulin FOR "SEQUEL" Anton Shipulin won the 'pursuit in Pokljuka played the' March 8, 2014. Therefore, if it is to thrive in the coming days, could realize un''impresa very special, or excel in the same resort & agrave; and in the same calendar year, but in two different seasons.
It would not be unusual for a fact Pokljuka. The 'event & egrave; gi & agrave; occurred in 2001. Pavel Rostovtsev and Raphael Poir & eacute; and conquered championship golds in February (the Russian sprint and pursuit, French mass start) and then also won in December, respectively nell''individuale and nell''inseguimento.
