The best German was Justus Strelow, who begins with a gap of 1:12 minutes.
This is followed by Philipp Nawrath, Philipp Horn and David Zobel, who start within eight seconds (1: 21-1: 29). Danilo Riethmüller (2:04) and Johannes Kühn (2:25) already have a much bigger deficit.
In the duel for victory in the overall ranking, Sturla Holm Lächreid is still ahead of record world champion Bö, who has a total of ten points behind.
In the persecution rating, too, the two have a tight head-to-head race and are currently at the top.
The advantage of Bö: In the sprint, he distanced his adversary and starts persecution with a 37 -second lead over his compatriot.
After the men’s persecution, women also start (from 5.40 p.m. in the live ticker). Franziska Preuss does not start among the best.
Because: At the sprint, Prussia had to take a small setback in the fight for the overall World Cup. In the Norwegian Ingrid Landmark Tindrevold’s victory, who begins the persecution of almost 15 seconds, the German was only 15.
Due to a shooting error, the 30-year-old goes into the trail almost a minute behind. Her worst competitor Lou JeanMonnot ran in fourth place and starts 27 seconds behind.
The best German was Selina Grotian in 10th place, but she has 47 seconds behind to the top.
