France wins the men's relay, Norway is only 4th

The first part of the race won by Claude and Laegreid. And the gaps were already impressive, only Strelow, Hornig, Pidruchnyi, and Todev were able to stay within 30 seconds of the leader.

Victor Brandt was losing a little more, but the representatives of Italy and Switzerland destroyed their chances for medals, the Italian Zeni was second to last, and the Swiss Pacal was last, with a lag of 2 minutes.

The second part of the race was also left to the French. Fabien Claude made only two misses in shooting, while Vebjorn Sorum, who won the individual 2 days ago, went into two penalty laps.

However, despite this oversight, the Norwegians were still in 4th place, 40 seconds behind. In second place is Ukrainian Mandzyn, and in 3rd place is German Riethmuller.

Jesper Nelin, made the Swedes' situation even worse, and exactly at the halfway point, Sweden was already losing more than a minute. But they have Samuelsson and Ponsiluoma in their lineup!

In the third leg, Quentin Fillon Maillet not only held the leading position, but also seriously broke away from his pursuers.

And the only one who was able to reduce the gap was Martin Ponsiluoma. The Swede came out on 3rd place, losing only two seconds to Slovenian Vindmar, and 40 to Quentin.

However, the Frenchman's last lap was weak, even Dudchenko and Küehn won a couple of seconds. But Tarjei Boe did some damage - a very long shooting, and a penalty loop, and the Norwegians were already losing a minute and a half at the relay exchange!

In the last leg, Emilien Jacquelin coped with the shooting, France won. Samuelsson also had a flawless race, Sweden second.

There was a battle for third place between Nawrath, Planko and J.T Boe, but the Slovenian and Norwegian took too long to shoot. It seemed that Johannes Boe would be able to try to make up 15 seconds on the German in a lap, but no, to the delight of the local crowd, Boe was unable to catch Nawrath.

Slovenia and Ukraine took 5th and 6th places.

Noone team was lapped, and the USA and Italy took 16th and 18th places respectively.
