Oberhof (dpa) - That was nothing.
At the home World Cup in Oberhof, the German biathletes had to leave the show to the Norwegians - again.
The starting positions for the pursuit races on Saturday are moderate.
Karl Geiger is now hoping for the next podium after second place in the Four Hills Tournament at home jumping in Titisee-Neustadt.

After the disappointed start in the sprint, the German ski hunters want to do better in the hunting race.
Franziska Preuß (14th) and Denise Herrmann (15th) go into the trail at the same time, 1:13 minutes behind sprint winner Tiril Eckhoff.
In the men's category, Benedikt Doll has the best starting position in the German team as 15th - whether he has a chance against the outstanding Norwegians remains to be seen.
For Simon Schempp, who just made it into the race as 58th when he started the season, the aim is to improve the result so that he does not immediately drop out of the A-Team.

So far there have been some surprises for the team of team boss Peter Schlickenrieder at the Tour de Ski.
Katharina Hennig made it into the top ten several times, Janosch Brugger even finished sixth on Friday in the Fiemme Valley.
But the sprint is by far the weakest discipline among German cross-country skiers this winter.
The races are the last section before the big Tour de Ski finale on Sunday.

After the tour is before the home World Cup.
Tour second Karl Geiger and world champion Markus Eisenbichler are in demand again in Titisee-Neustadt.
Can the ski jumping duo end the triumphant advance of Poland's triumphant Kamil Stoch?
For Eisenbichler in particular, it is also about valuable points in the fight for the overall World Cup.
The 29-year-old Bavarian got off to a furious start into the winter with two wins, but recently he had more and more weaknesses.
Because there are only 50 athletes on site in the Black Forest, the FIS World Ski Federation does not qualify.

However, the US pilots and Canadians will be at the start in Winterberg for the first time this winter.
On the other hand, the strong Latvians with defending champion Oskars Kibermanis, who did not travel to the Hochsauerland after a positive Corona case, had to cancel.
“We used the Christmas break to recharge the batteries and prepare for a short but intensive training camp on the World Cup track in Altenberg,” said head coach René Spies.

"We have big plans for Sigulda - first and foremost, it is important to drive down cleanly," said overall World Cup leader Felix Loch, who has won all five World Cup races so far this season.
The two-seaters also pay off a bit.
«Sigulda is a train that we like very much.
We've had very nice and successful races there, but also crashes, ”said Sascha Benecken.
