Hofer narrowly missed the podium in Antholz

Lukas Hofer showed once again that he is one of the absolute world leaders in biathlon. The Montaler was only a tenth of a second short of the long-awaited podium place (the last one he achieved so far in March 2019) at the home World Cup in Antholz. Hofer, who made a mistake in the first two shooting sessions, was intercepted in the final round by Frenchman Quentin Fillon Maillet.

Nevertheless: Hofer was always in the top 5 in the last 6 individual races. In this form, the podium finish is only a matter of time. Loginov wins, Bionaz shows up The victory went to Alexander Loginov, who remained flawless on the shooting range. As is well known, the Russian was crowned sprint world champion in Antholz last year, took bronze in the pursuit and was subsequently questioned by the police in connection with doping allegations. On Friday, Loginov once again proved that he is coping very well with the conditions in Antholz. The Norwegian shooting star Sturla Holm Lægreid, who missed twice at the shooting range, came in second.

In addition to Hofer, another Azzurro, Didier Bionaz, was able to convince on Friday. The 20-year-old ended up in 13th place with just one penalty minute, making a real statement. For Dominik Windisch, however, it was a competition to forget. With 7 penalty minutes, the Oberrasner ranked outside the top 40.

On Saturday it continues in Antholz with the women's mass start (13.10:15.05 p.m.) and the men's relay competition (XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.).
