A German surprises everyone in Hochfilzen

Johannes Kühn has never been on the top podium in his career. To date, a second place in the individual in Pokljuka had been his only podium finish in the World Cup. This changed on Friday during the Hochfilzen sprint. In difficult wind conditions, Kühn also missed a target, but the 2-year-old from Passau was in a class of his own when it came to running. Especially on the final lap, Kühn ran like he was unleashed and thus took his first World Cup victory.

Martin Ponsiluoma took second place. The Swede, who also had to go into the penalty loop once, was 2 seconds behind Kühn at the finish. Anton Smolski from Belarus came in third. He remained flawless at the shooting range. Overall, no one would have expected this constellation on the podium. No top spot for the Azzurri The best Azzurro was Lukas Hofer in 23rd place. The Montaler missed the first of a total of 10 targets. In terms of running, he is still in the same form as last year - also because he had to struggle with physical problems during preparation. Dominik Windisch ended up in 31st place with two errors.

Tommaso Giacomel was on his way to another top position. But when shooting standing, the young Trentino player left two targets standing, so all hopes vanished into thin air. In the end, Giacomel finished in 41st place and therefore missed out on the points.

The Biathlon World Cup in North Tyrol continues with a women's sprint on Friday afternoon (14.15:XNUMX p.m.).
