Laegreid, Perrot and Jacquelin — yesterday’s podium trio — held onto their positions, and there were no changes among them throughout the race.
Martin Ponsiluoma tried to close the gap to the leading trio, but couldn’t do so over the first two laps. After the second prone stage, the Swede picked up two penalty loops, ending his chances. Jacquelin also missed once, reducing the leading group to a duel between Perrot and Laegreid.
At the third shooting stage, both leaders shot clean, so the situation on the track remained unchanged, and the suspense lasted not only until the final shooting but all the way to the finish line.
Laegreid entered the finishing straight first, and Perrot tried to pass him from behind. It came down to a photo finish, which showed that Laegreid won by half a boot length.
Emilien Jacquelin comfortably secured third place. Ponsiluoma and Botn, of course, were unable to make up the 30-second deficit.
