Hello and welcome to the live ticker for the Biathlon World Championships today in Nove Mesto.
Today the men's singles is on the program.
Biathlon World Cup in Nove Mesto: The preliminary report for the men's individual
The spell is finally broken.
In the sixth race of this year's Biathlon World Championships in Nove Mesto,
Janina Hettich-Walz was able to win the
first medal
for the German team in the women's singles
.
Biathlon World Cup today in the live ticker: World Cup results so far have been devastating
Now it's up to the gentlemen to follow suit.
So far , however, the World Cup has been anything but positive for
Benedikt Doll
's team .
In none of the individual competitions so far have they been able to even begin to keep up with the world's best.
The material and the performance at the shooting range were too poor.
Now things should get better in the
20 kilometer
race .
The DSV athletes will compete in a different line-up.
Philipp Nawrath
started in the sprint and pursuit
.
He will now be replaced by
Roman Rees
, who won the individual in Östersund at the start of the season.
Benedikt Doll, Johannes Kühn
and
Philipp Horn
continue to be the starters
.
Biathlon World Cup in the live ticker today: Strelow surprisingly not nominated
Somewhat surprisingly,
Justus Strelow
was not nominated despite his strong performance in the mixed relay.
He is considered
the best German shooter
, which is a big plus in a shooting-heavy competition like the individual.
The 27-year-old proved that he can do this discipline in Östersund, when he came
second behind Rees
.
At the second event of the oldest biathlon discipline in Antholz, he finished with three mistakes, all in the first shooting, but only 30th.
He is
probably giving up voluntarily
in order to be able to concentrate fully on the single mixed relay on Thursday.
The men's individual event is the longest distance run in a biathlon race.
Each starter will complete 20 kilometers.
You have to shoot four times
; for each mistake at the shooting range,
one minute
is added to the final result.
For the big favorites at this World Cup you only have to look at the
Norwegian team
.
All of the men's medals have gone to her so far.
Sturla Holm Laegreid
secured the sprint
ahead of
Johannes Thingnes Boe
and
Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen
.
In the pursuit, Boe was ahead, followed by four compatriots.
However, singles often take on their own dynamics
, and there may well be surprises on Wednesday.
