Biathlon World Cup: Horn runs in seventh in the World Cup singles

After the debacle in the sprint and in the persecution, it was the hoped -for sign of life of the protégés of national coach Uros Velepec. Rank 17 of Horn in the chasing race was the best World Cup placement of the DSV men.

Bö with five mistakes

The new world champion became the Frenchman Eric Perrot, who, after a mistake, referred the Italian Tommaso Giacomel (1 error/+ 52.4 seconds) to the silver rank. Bronze secured the Frenchman Quentin Fillon Maillet (3 errors/+ 1: 59.5 minutes).

Defending champion and record world champion Johannes Thingnes Bö shot down five times after his sovereign victories in sprint and persecution and, like the other Norwegians, had nothing to do with the title fight.

The last German medal in the biathlon classic, Benedikt Doll, who has now resigned, won bronze in Nove Mesto a year ago. The last German individual world champion is Arnd Peiffer, who won in Östersund Gold in 2019.
