Greater Favorite missed
When we started. Russian Anton Shipulin are the first out on the track.
Slowly but surely we are approaching Bear Valley start number. Now number 15 out on the trail, Davies MacX from Canada. It divides 30 seconds between exercises.
Shipulin has just been through his first shooting. One of today’s favorites got one boom.
Martin Fourcade got a full house and came out of the shooting time 8: 32.3.
– Almost unbeatable
Also on the second shooting was one bomskudd for Anton Shipulin. Thus, the battle for gold will be lost for the Russian.
Fourcade came to the second shooting at full speed and got a full house.
– He shows that he is almost unbeatable, said NRK commentators ecstatic Frenchman’s shooting.
There’s Ole Einar Bjoerndalen along the track!
Front Fourcade
Martin Fourcade enters the goal with the time 25: 35.4. Probably it Fourcade’s time that needs to be if you want to become world champion today.
Johannes Thingnes Bø is also out on the trail. At the first measurement, he is 2.1 seconds ahead of Fourcade time.
Bjoerndalen shoots full house on the first shooting, going out of the firing line with currently 8: 33.2.
John gets also full house on her first shooting and the time until Fourcade seems suddenly not as dangerous as first thought. Coming out of the firing line with currently 8: 28.9, just over five seconds faster than Bjoerndalen.
Bjoerndalen hunts Fourcade
Bjoerndalen delivers! Other shooting shoot veteran down all the targets, and is only 10.3 seconds behind Fourcade time out of the firing line.
Frenchman’s last lap was strong, and Bjoerndalen have to extract all he has to turn Fourcade.
Thingnes Bo inside the last shooting now. It was unfortunately a boom on him. He had a full house, he would probably have taken the time to Fourcade, coming instead out 25.7 seconds behind.
Bjoerndalen loses to Fourcade on measurement after 8.5 kilometers, and is 23.8 seconds behind . It may still be the podium for veteran Dominik Windisch is 39.5 seconds behind second in goals.
Bjoerndalen second
Emil Hegle Svendsen gets a full house on the first shooting, going out 7 , 3 seconds behind the best time.
Ole Einar Bjørndalen goes in goal number two. 26.9 behind Fourcade. Hegle Svendsen is the one who can now take up the fight against the Frenchman.
Johannes Thingnes Bø crosses the finish in third place, 35.5 seconds behind the leader time.
– A fantastic race
Hegle Svendsen is 3.2 seconds behind Fourcade time of 6.2 kilometers.
There was Thingnes Bo pushed further down the list. Ukrainian Sergey Semenov reach the finish just over eight seconds before Thingnes Bo his time, and seven tenths behind Bjorn valley.
– It was a fantastic race today. Ten hits and I went well on skis. I guess it keeps to fourth place, but you never know, said Bjoerndalen to NRK after sprint.
Hegle Svendsen lose much time on the trail, and looks exhausted. On measurements of 8.5 kilometers, is he full minute behind, and all indications are that Bjoerndalen is Norway’s best man today, hopefully with the silver medal.
If the medal Bjoerndalen, it becomes his 41 World Cup medal.
Simon Schempp falls on the run. German put the stick in the ski stiff five meters before the finish line and go in the face.
Hegle Svendsen reach the finish 1.15 behind Fourcade time, and comes in as provisional number 17.
