The final round follows.

Conditions are wonderfully wintry again in Canmore.
The sun is shining, we have slightly plus temperatures and a well-prepared route.

Biathlon today in the live ticker: The preliminary report on the sprint in Canada
A men's sprint will be run one last time in the 2023/24 Biathlon World Cup.
The route is 10 kilometers long and includes two shooting ranges.
It's about the
overall ranking, the Sprint World Cup and a good basis
for the pursuer who will run on Saturday.
Biathlon today in the live ticker: Doll in the center of the action
Seven German athletes
are competing in Canmore.
Philipp Nawrath, Johannes Kühn, Philipp Horn, Justus Strelow, Roman Rees, Danilo Riethmüller tackle the race.
And then there is Benedikt Doll, who is a particular focus.
The Black Forest native is competing in the last World Cup of his long career in Canada.
He has already won two sprints this biathlon winter and is in third place in the sprint rankings.
41 points are missing from the leading Norwegian Tarjei Boe.
His compatriot Sturla Holm Laegreid is 19 points ahead of Doll.
A small miracle is needed
.
Boe and Laegreid would have to make a mistake, Doll would need a place on the podium.

In addition to the sprint classification, the overall classification is also vacant.
Here Johannes Thingnes leads Boe in front of his brother Tarjei.
62 points separate the two siblings
.
Sounds like a lot, but it isn't.
On Thursday, for example, Lisa Vittozzi caught up with Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold by 65 points.
If Johannes Thingnes Boe makes a mistake, his brother could come much closer.
It starts in wintery Canmore at 5:40 p.m.
The Norwegians are the favorites, but Doll and Nawrath also have good chances.
Kühn and Horn also belong to the extended circle of favorites.
