Eric Perrot in the interview

“I am the first to be frustrated. It’s a shame to miss two shots, especially at the beginning. My challenge was to stay in the present moment after that, and it was pretty successful. But this is not the expected result. »

18:39

Fabien Claude concludes with a 3/5

The Frenchman is at 16/20.

18:37

Emilien Jacquelin at the microphone of La Chaîne L’Equipe

“Johannes Boe has wreaked havoc. Today, I had two choices: start at the threshold, at a pace that I could maintain for the entire race, but I saw that Johannes was starting a lap before me. I did my first lap with him and I caught him on the 2nd lap to continue following him but it was too much effort. I paid for it. But I wanted to take risks, to play. It was double or nothing. I used it a little but I exploded. But I am happy with my shooting performance. »

18:33

Encouraging ski times for the Blues

Quentin Fillon-Maillet and Eric Perrot achieved the 3rd and 5th best ski times. Unfortunately, it was on the shooting range that they lost the podium.

Finally a 20/20

It was the Korean Starodubets who achieved this flawlessly. But he will not play for victory.

Emilien Jacquelin in difficulty on skis

The Frenchman cannot keep up the pace in this last lap, the podium is out of reach.

18:19

A mistake for Fabien Claude in his 2nd round

18:18

Tarjei Boe takes second place

Quentin Fillon-Maillet on arrival

The Frenchman crosses the line with a time of 49:05.2

Emilien Jacquelin stays in the game

The Frenchman is at 14/15. He can still hope for a podium, even if the Norwegians are imperial again.

18:01

Johannes Boe heads to victory!

The Norwegian achieves a fantastic 5/5 on his last shot. Given his speed on skis, he could well claim the world title, despite his 19/20.

17:58

17:21
