Tommaso Giacomel wins the sprint in Oberhof, Nawrath and Dale on the podium

Before the race, a moment of remembrance was held for Sivert Bakken, who passed away two weeks earlier. The Norwegian team and Italy’s Tommaso Giacomel paid tribute to him, with many athletes visibly emotional. But competition resumed when Birkenthal started the race wearing bib number 2.

Most of the biggest names started in the middle of the field, which allowed David Zobel to lead for a long time. He was later overtaken by Frey, and then by Nelin.

The race truly came alive with the start of Martin Uldal. Lukas Hofer, Quentin Fillon Maillet and Eric Perrot were all competitive, but each of them made shooting mistakes. Campbell Wright briefly stunned the crowd by posting the fastest time after the first shooting, with a clear margin, but two misses on the second shooting ended his challenge.

The strongest performance came from Tommaso Giacomel. Despite one shooting error, the Italian won by 13 seconds over Philipp Nawrath, while Johannes Dale finished 25 seconds behind.

With this result, Giacomel closes the gap significantly to Johan Olav Botn in the overall standings and could overtake the Norwegian as early as Saturday. Eric Perrot (5th today) and Sebastian Samuelsson (4th) could also move close of Botn based on the results of the Oberhof stage.

A complete disaster for Christiansen and Jacquelin: both finished outside the top 60 and failed to qualify for the pursuit.
