At Windisch the knot breaks - a no-name surprises everyone

40th, 62nd, 80th – yes, Dominik Windisch's individual results have been a disappointment so far this season. But now the knot has been broken: In Le Grand-Bornand, Windisch was flawless on the shooting range and showed that he also has enough fuel in his legs. The Pusterer ran particularly well in the last lap and rewarded himself with 9th place in the end.

Lukas Hofer, on the other hand, did not have a good race: The Montaler was extremely error-prone on the shooting range with three tickets and was pushed back to 40th position.

Frenchman causes the sensation The highlight of the day in the French location was provided by a local hero: Antonin Guigonnat had no one on the bill before the race, after all he usually only competes in the IBU Cup, i.e. in the second highest competition class of biathlon. Driven by the numerous French fans, the 26-year-old surpassed himself, remained flawless at the shooting range and ran up to third place with start number 88.

In the end, Guigonnat was 27,8 seconds behind Johannes Thingnes Boe, who celebrated his fourth win of the season on Friday. Martin Fourcade came second, 21,1 seconds behind the triumphant.

The women's (11.45:14.45 a.m.) and men's pursuit (XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.) continue on Saturday.
