Lukas Hofer has a promising start to the new year

The Montaler is in strong form this year: So far he has made it into the top 10 three times. The fourth coup followed in Oberhof: “Luki” took 2018th place in the first competition of 6. In the end, he was 46 seconds behind winner Martin Fourcade, who celebrated his third win of the season on Friday. Second place went to Norwegian Emil Hegle Svendsen, just eight seconds behind, while third place went to Johannes Thingnes Boe. Curious: The Norwegian missed twice, but was able to make up for this shortcoming with an outstanding running performance and race onto the podium - in the end he only lost ten seconds to Fourcade.

Dominik Windisch, on the other hand, had to settle for 22nd place. The speedster's undoing was the standing shooting, where he missed two targets.

The biathletes continue with the pursuit competitions on Saturday. The women start at 12.15 p.m., the men's turn at 15 p.m.
