Sturla Laegreid wins the sprint in Otepää, Jacquelin fades again on the final lap

Sturla Laegreid had a relatively successful Olympic Games, winning four individual medals but no victories. Today he finally managed to take one, although it will hardly be much consolation, as a World Cup race in Otepää is a very different stage of the season.

The Norwegian’s main rival was Emilien Jacquelin, who led for about two thirds of the race. But what has already become a common scenario this season happened once again — the Frenchman faded badly on the final lap. Fortunately for him, the athletes chasing behind, Philipp Nawrath and Isak Frey, were not particularly fast on the track, which allowed Jacquelin to keep second place.

Quentin Fillon Maillet timed his peak form perfectly for the Olympic Games, but he now appears to be experiencing a small drop in form. Even with perfect shooting (two clear stages), the Frenchman finished about 30 seconds behind the winner.

The overall World Cup leader and almost certain future winner of the Big Crystal Globe, Eric Perrot, finished only 12th with two misses. However, it seems very unlikely that Sebastian Samuelsson or Johan Olav Botn will manage to win the remaining four races and collect the necessary 360 points. Therefore, Perrot is likely to officially secure the Big Crystal Globe already this week.
