A strong Hofer narrowly misses the next podium place

The Montaler, who started the race in 3rd place after his podium finish in the sprint, remained clear twice in the prone shooting pursuit and was able to keep up with the best from the start. Hofer made a mistake for the first time in the third shooting, but he still remained in the top group.

The 31-year-old then came to the final shooting together with Quentin Fillon Maillet, Émilien Jacquelin, Johannes Thingnes Bø, Sturla Holm Lægreid and Antonin Guigonnat. While Fillon Maillet and Jacquelin made no mistakes, Hofer missed a target and had to go into the penalty loop. That's why he started the final lap in 6th place. Thanks to his excellent running performance, he was able to advance to 5th place and thus achieved the next top result. He was just 10 seconds shy of his next podium finish. Fillon Maillet cannot be beaten again Victory again went to the Frenchman Fillon Maillet, who had already won the sprint. Johannes Thingnes Bø ended up in second place - also because the overall World Cup leader was able to mobilize all his strength again in the final lap and passed Jacquelin.
