Windisch shines in the icy cold

Johannes Thingnes Bø is in a class of his own this biathlon season. The Norwegian was able to celebrate his 14th win of the season in the freezing cold (-12 degrees) in Canmore. This means he is well on his way to overtaking a record set by his competitor Martin Fourcade: The Frenchman, who is not taking part in the World Cup in Canada , was even able to celebrate 14 World Cup victories in one season (2016/17). This means that Bø only needs two triumphs to at least equal Fourcade's record.

Second place on Thursday went to Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen. At the finish, the Norwegian was 2.10,2:2.41 minutes behind his compatriot. The Russian Alexander Loginow came third (+XNUMX minutes).

Windisch's best “Azzurro” Dominik Windisch, who recently showed improving form at the home race in Antholz and finished in the top ten for the first time this season, made two mistakes in the individual race and ended up in an excellent fifth place thanks to a strong running performance. Hofer left two targets in the first prone shooting. The Montaler made no further mistakes and finished the race in 21st place.

The temperatures during the race were -14 degrees and therefore within the permitted range. Because of the cold, the individual competition was held over 15 km and not over 20 km as was originally the case. Instead of the usual penalty minute for every missed shot, there was a penalty time of 45 seconds.

The women's individual competition will take place at 22.55:XNUMX p.m. - and not as originally planned at 22.10:XNUMX p.m - Walk across the stage. The men's individual race was originally scheduled for 18 p.m., but had to be moved to 20.20:XNUMX p.m. Already on Wednesday the World Cup program in Canmore had to be canceled due to the extreme cold. amendments .
