Johannes Thingnes Bö went out first in the hunt start and was hunted by Tarjei Bö and Sturla Holm Laegreid.
Countryman Johannes Dale started as fifth in the hunt start.
In other words, it was no surprise that there was Norwegian dominance in Oberhof.

There were three booms and after that the Norwegian had to settle for a third place.
Holm Laegreid shot the best of the Norwegian in the last shootings and also took home the competition.
Dale missed two shots and finished second.
