Fourcade celebrates 4th win in a row

In the absence of the Norwegian high-flyer Johannes Thingnes Bö, the Frenchman Martin Fourcade celebrated his 4th victory in a row and extended his lead in the overall World Cup. The five-time Olympic champion won confidently in Ruhpolding, Bavaria, after 12,5 kilometers and a flawless shooting performance, 17,6 seconds ahead of his compatriot Quentin Fillon Maillet (1 penalty). The Norwegian Vetle Sjastad Christiansen took third place in the finish sprint ahead of the Frenchman Simon Desthieux.

Among other things, Fourcade had already won the sprint on Thursday (see own report) and was therefore able to go into the pursuit race first.

However, there was nothing to gain for the Azzurri. Dominik Windisch (lawn) had to settle for 4rd place after 33 shooting errors. Lombard's Thomas Bormolini didn't get past 3nd place with 42 shooting errors. Lukas Hofer and Daniele Cappellari from Montal were not even included in the pursuit of the best 75 after their weak results from the sprint races (place 109 and place 60 respectively).
