NEWS & rsquo; L & rsquo; & inaugural appointment of Öland; stersund sported a Martin Fourcade unrivaled skiing tight. The French, though not impress at the shooting range, has won two of three races in Sweden thanks to an unparalleled step. We'll see if this superiority & agrave; It ripresenter & agrave; also in Austria where, historically, more fatigue & ugrave; that in other contexts.
HISTORY Hochfilzen hosted the first races of men's absolute level in 1978, when organizz & ograve; World Cup, all''epoca reserved exclusively to holders of the Y chromosome
Until the mid & agrave; the early '90s the presence of resort & agrave; Tyrolean in the calendar of the World Cup & egrave; was occasional (1987, 1991, 1996), but since 1998 - '' 99 has found its resting place in December, except for 2004 - '' 05, when you are competing & ograve; in March to host the event standings.
L & rsquo; & agrave event, however, will come back; a third time in February 2017 and accordingly the stage of the weekend will & agrave; in effect pre-World.
In 2000 the 'plant suffered the cancellation due to lack of snow. In return & egrave; was the scene of recoveries 3 times: in 2006, 2008 and 2011, respectively replacing Brezno-Osrblie, Pokljuka and Annecy-Le Grand Bornand. So far in Hochfilzen were sailed 48 races male individual level (10 twenty kilometers, sprinting 22, 15 chases, the first mass start), six with value champion (individual sprint in 1978, one for each format in 2005).
Are 23 athletes with at least one victory. Among them stands Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen, able to impose itself in 13 occasions (including three world medals). To give a & rsquo; & agrave idea of ​​superiority; Veteran Norwegian think that second place in the list of award-victorious ranks lone Emil Hegle Svendsen with 4 hits, less than a third compared to most & ugrave; senior fellow!
Seven athletes in activities & agrave; to boast victories on this slope. In addition to the already & agrave; cited Bj ø rndalen (13), and Svendsen (4) there are three claims for Tarjei B ø ;; 2 successes for German Andreas Birnbacher and French Martin Fourcade; 1 for the Slovenian Jakov Fak and the & rsquo; another Norwegian Johannes Thingnes B ø ;.
In terms of nations in Hochfilzen on the step pi & ugrave; top of the podium eleven different flags waved, but Norway, with 26 successes, he alone excelled pi & ugrave; all other countries combined!
Follow & ndash; far away & ndash; at an altitude of 6, Russia and the German movement (4 after reunification, West Germany and 1 1 as the defunct GDR), hunted by France (5). Single statement for Belarus, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Sweden and the Soviet Union.
No success for the 'Italy, for which the' system Tyrolean & egrave; historically hostile environment. The blue men's movement has a single podium December 17, 1987 by Johann Passler, he ranked third nell''individuale.
 CURIOSITY '' - The Law of the "B" IN SPRINT In the men there is a very peculiar situation. Sprint in Hochfilzen dominate biathletes whose last name begins with B, winners of 13 of the 22 races held in this format.
About Ole Einar Bj ø rndalen (it imposed in 1998, 2001, World Championship gold in 2005, 2006, 2009), Lars Berger (2003, 2008 and 2013), Tarjei B ø (2010 and 2011), Carl Johan Bergman (2011), Andreas Birnbacher (2012) and Johannes Thingnes B ø (2014).
However, the striking fact & egrave; see the latest 8 sprint won by six different biathletes from three different nations, but all have in common the second letter dell''alfabeto tains of their surname.
To find a different initial in the last name of a winner you have to go back exactly seven years to 12 December 2008, when it imposed Emil Hegle Svendsen.
This incredible streak proseguir & agrave; Also in 2015, or the B & steccher agrave; the ninth?
