Sebastian Samuelsson, shooting 10 out of 10, showed the best sprint time, ahead of Italian Tomasso Giacomel by 18 seconds, and by 30 seconds - his teammate Martin Ponsiluoma, who has one penalty loop in the passive.
In the top 6 also: Malte Stefansson, Jesper Nelin and Thomas Bormollini.
Of those who are heard, Dominik Windisch (26th) and Peppe Femling (31st) completely failed the race, as well as the Slovak national team, which, although not a top team, was still obliged to beat biathletes from Romania, Japan, and the Swedish reserve team.
In the women's sprint, Linn Persson won by 5 seconds ahead of the swift-footed Elvira Oeberg, who even managed to finish second with 3 penalty loops. The third place was taken by Lisa Vittozzi.
The Swedish reserve is still outplaying some athletes from the main team: Johanna Skotnheim 4th, Ingela Andersson 6th. Hanna Oeberg is just 10th, Anna Magnusson is 11th.
A very good result was shown by the Latvian Baiba Bendika - 5th place.
