The best of the Russians was Yevgeny Garanichev, who took tenth place at one mistake (+45.1 seconds).

“The Hochfilzen has a specific route. On the last circle, few can hold speed. I didn’t have enough,” said Evgeny Biatlonrus.com after the race. “And it’s a shame that I couldn’t finalize one mistake. I still did not understand its reason. I was well -shot on the shelter, but in the end I was mistaken once. I think many were smeared with because of the same, because of the same, because of that the approach to the shooting is heavy.

My condition is almost the same as in Rupolding and at the European Championship. There, too, a sprint did not work out a little, but the persecution managed to perform well. I feel better than at the beginning of the season. Here I have a good health. I am tuned for tomorrow's race. We will fight. "

Anton Shipulin has a 21st place (+ 1 minute 14.7 seconds, 3 misses). Anton Babikov - 49th (+1.49.0; 3 misses). Maxim Tsvetkov - 69th (+2.33.4; 3 mistakes).
