Fourcade hits back – Tarjei Bø makes a faux pas

In the absence of Johannes Thingnes Bø, who will miss the entire month of January due to the upcoming birth of his first child, the seven-time overall World Cup winner was unbeatable on Friday. Fourcade, who won for the second time this winter and celebrated his 2th World Cup victory in an individual race, came out ahead of his compatriot Émilien Jacquelin. The German Johannes Kühn came 74rd.

Meanwhile, Tarjei Bø caused a strange action. The Norwegian, who missed once in the standing stage, did not turn into the penalty loop. When he noticed this at some point, he returned and completed the penalty loop. According to the rules, this would result in a disqualification because you are not allowed to run against the direction of the track. However, due to the fact that Bø did not hinder anyone, he was included in the ranking. In the end he ended up in 1th place.

Nothing to gain for the Azzurri The South Tyroleans experienced a pitch-black day on Friday. Both Dominik Windisch and Lukas Hofer missed 5 times and had to settle for 70th and 71st place. The best Azzurro was Thomas Bormolini in 63rd place. Men's sprint in Oberhof Pos Name Country Time Error 1. Martin Fourcade FRA 25.27,2 Minutes 0 2. Emilien Jacquelin FRA +25,5 seconds 1 3.
