Heart-stopping finale: A surprise man wins gold

Émilien Jacquelin has competed in 3 World Cup seasons so far, but he has never managed a victory. But on Sunday the knot broke – and of all things at a World Cup. After his victory in Antholz, he can call himself the new pursuit champion.

Jacquelin came out on top in a heart-stopping final against top star Johannes Thingnes Bø and won the gold medal after a thrilling sprint to the finish. Bø, who ended up in a disappointing 5th place in the sprint, won his first individual medal in Antholz, but it “only” shines in silver.

Bronze went to the Russian Alexander Loginov, who was on course for victory for a long time on Sunday after three flawless shooting sessions. But in the final standing test, the newly crowned sprint world champion made a mistake that dropped him to third place. Martin Fourcade had to make do with sheet metal. South Tyroleans disappoint at the shooting range There was no sense of achievement for the South Tyroleans: Lukas Hofer missed a total of 4 times and ended up in 20th place. Dominik Windisch completely botched his performance and missed a total of 20 out of 7 targets. In the final ranking he shines in 51st place.
