Fourcade world champion in front of Johannes Boe and Dominik Landertinger

Martin Fourcade, already a bronze medalist in the sprint, won his 12th individual world title this afternoon, he joined Bjorndalen in the number of "solo" titles (11) and further asserted his grip on the Coupe du world. Johannes Boe, who was guilty of a shooting error from the first set of laying shots, could never really compete with the French and finished at 18/20. Landertinger completed the podium with an eight-second lead over the Slovakian Fak.
Disappointment for other French people since Fillon-Maillet finished 7th, despite the best time in skiing, Claude was 19th and Desthieux was 59th.

at 4:00 p.m.

Dominik Landertinger keeps third place

Leading a large part of the race after starting in 5th position, the 31-year-old Austrian won his 5th medal in the world championship and therefore completed the podium 1:22 behind Fourcade and 25 seconds behind J. Boe

at 15:55

Johannes Boe "really happy" with his silver medal

At the microphone of the Norwegian TV Team , second behind Martin Fourcade explained to be satisfied with this medal: "I'm really happy. (...) I did the whole race behind Martin after my mistake, so when he missed his last shot, I already knew I would miss gold. (...) On the last lap, I heard from my staff that I could not be first and only the third was too small for me so I decided to take my time and save myself for the other races. "

at 15:48

Quentin Fillon Maillet best provisional ski time

The Frenchman, who faltered in shots with four faults, finished first in skiing, 16 seconds ahead of Fourcade. Enough to regret therefore for those who rank 7th for the moment.

at 15:46

Martin Fourcade still ahead at the World Cup

Fourcade, first overall at the World Cup, further increased his lead over Johannes Boe to three stages and nine races to the end.
On the other hand, the Ceretan is already assured of the small crystal globe in Individual

at 15:40

The Norwegian arrived more than a minute behind the Austrian Landertinger and should undergo the return of Fak in particular

at 15:13

at 15:11

The little crystal globe for Fourcade in case of victory

A success this afternoon would allow Martin Fourcade to certainly retain his first place in the World Cup sprint ranking and therefore to overtake Johannes Boe.

at 14:09

France 3rd on the medal table

Currently, the Tricolores, with three medals are placed on the third step in the general medal classification, preceded by Norway (five medals) and Italy (also three medals, but including two in gold), but ahead of Russia d Aleksandr Loginov (champion in the sprint) and Germany (not yet medalist in the men), who total two charms.

at 14:04

Martin Fourcade in the footsteps of the Bjørndalen record

In case of victory this afternoon, Martin Fourcade would equal the record of Ole Einar Bjørndalen by winning his eleventh victory in the world championship in a "solo" event (Mass-start, Individual, Sprint, Pursuit).
He would still be far from the Norwegian in terms of world titles all together since Bjørndalen currently leads 20 to 11.

at 13:57

A positive French assessment for men

If these world championships in Antholz (Italy) goes less well for women, the male biathlon is doing rather well with already three medals in two events, with a title for Emilien Jacquelin on the pursuit, and a silver medal for Quentin Fillon Maillet and a bronze for Martin Fourcade on the sprint.

at 12:48

Four Frenchmen on the track

In the absence of Jacquelin, four French skiers will therefore be in the fight: Fabien Claude with number 14, Martin Fourcade, number 30, Simon Desthieux with number 37, and Quentin Fillon Maillet with number 51.
Note that the Norwegian Johannes Boe, one of the favorites, already eight times world champion, silver medalist in pursuit and gold in the mixed relay this year, will wear No. 54.

at 12:41

A race without Émilien Jacquelin

The Grenoble skier, world champion in Sunday pursuit, is preserved and will therefore not participate in the individual.

at 11:41
