Dominik Windisch's liberation strike

When Dominik Windisch turned into the home straight in the sprint from Ruhpolding on Thursday, you could clearly see: the Rasner biathlete is fighting doggedly for every second. Although he was completely out of breath, he pushed himself forward with strong pushes and finally saw position 13 shine at the finish. A result that acts like balm on the soul. The season so far hasn't been an easy one for Windisch, on the contrary: a 31st place is his best result. Until he landed his personal liberation on Thursday in Ruhpoldig. The last time he was better was on March 8, 2020 - shortly before the outbreak of the corona pandemic - when he came 9th in the mass start in Nove Mesto. Precise at the shooting range Windisch showed a strong race from the start, was fast on his skis and extremely precise at the shooting range. While his faulty insoles have repeatedly been his downfall over the last few weeks, on Thursday he only missed one of 10 targets (when shooting standing). In this way he created an ideal starting position for the final lap, in which he ran like he was on rails and gained a total of 7 positions. In the end it was a strong 13th place. Lukas Hofer also did well after his break ended up in 16th place just behind Windisch. The Montaler missed once at the shooting range. In any case, the direction is right – both for Hofer and for Windisch. A Frenchman wins Victory went to the French overall World Cup leader Quentin Fillon Maillet, who narrowly beat the German Benedikt Doll (+2,3 seconds). Belarusian Anton Smolski came third. Not there in the Bavarian winter sports resort are Norway's top stars, who are taking a break this weekend. On Friday the women's relay takes place in Ruhpolding (14.30 p.m.), on Saturday it is the men's turn (14.30 p.m.), before the program is rounded off on Sunday with the two pursuit races. The women start at 12.45 p.m., the men at 14.45 p.m.
