In fact, the French could become the first man to win four consecutive crystal balls knocking down the record of three wins in a row prisoner in coabiazione with Frank Ullrich and the German compatriot Raphael Poir & eacute; e. & Nbsp;
Even Ole Einar Bj & ø rndalen & egrave; nell''impresa able to achieve a 4-row statements in the overall standings. It must be said that if nell''inverno 2006 - '' 07 The Norwegian had opted not to compete also in cross country, he won the World Cup (round to Michael Greis) to have made a series of 5.
However, "if", the "buts" and conditionals do not make history which instead could be rewritten by twenty-six catanalano. Paradoxically, his profile in the race for Crystal Ball rose through contracted mononucleosis in the summer. The illness is passed and at the same time Fourcade led to abandon the intention to compete on two fronts, seeking the medal standings in both the biathlon cross-country skiing.
Just two months of preparation lost between July and September to give the trans prevent the role of big favorite to win the World Cup. Obviously Martin is the 'athlete ugrave & more; credited to the ultimate success, but with un''incognita about the tightness of the physical condition during dell''inverno which raises the possibility & agrave; to return to see a tough competition in the race for the overall standings.
The men who try to break the 'hegemony fourcadiana come mainly from Norway, but at the start & egrave; difficult to identify a clear rival for the French.
In theory it would be for the role clearly Emil Hegle Svendsen, who indeed could even be considered the favorite to win the crystal ball having always closed in the last 7 seasons in the top three in the overall standings and having placed second for four years in a row from 2010 - '' 11 onwards.
The twenty-nine of Trondheim in August announced they would put their hands on the World Cup gi & agrave; conquered in 2009 - '' 10, & later for ograve; issued statements that fuel doubts about its real competitiveness & agrave; claiming to have had a drop in motivation and not be clear in its objectives for 2014 - '' 15.
So if on Fourcade c '' & egrave; a big unknown physics, Svendsen on there & egrave; an equally large about mental strength. These "sword of Damocles" on the two most biathletes & ugrave; Winning four dell''ultimo then fed the hopes of other pretenders to the throne of the biathlon men, including in the front row, are the brothers B & oslash ;.
