The French men's biathlon team won the Oberhof relay narrowly ahead of the Norwegian machine carried by a once again stunning Johannes Boe.

But the tricolor regularity at this time awarded on the talent of the world champion, started too far (50 seconds from Emilien Jacquelin) to be able to dispute the victory.

France can on beam thank the German Horn for having completely cracked on his lying shot while he was still ahead of Jacquelin.
