Quentin Fillon-Maillet 3rd on the Antholz individual, Loginov winner

QFM saved the honor -

France in biathlon can say thank you to Quentin Fillon-Maillet.

QFM took a nice 3rd place over the individual from Antholz, won by the Russian Alexander Loginov.

It is the third podium of the Frenchman this season (including a victory), 6th in the general classification of the World Cup just ahead of Emilien Jacquelin, author of a disappointing race.

Fillon-Maillet is therefore reassured after a sawtooth start to winter.

The Jurassian, author of an 18/20 shooting, snatched this 3rd position on the track on the last lap, finally ahead of the Italian Lukas Hofer (4th) by 1 / 10th of a second.

Laegreid returns to Boe

Largely behind in the general classification, which was his main objective, Fillon-Maillet boosts his morale within three weeks of the Pokljuka Worlds (February 10-21).

Loginov (28) was untouchable in this race.

With a 20/20 rifle, the Russian, suspended for EPO use between 2014 and 2016, scored his first victory of the season, the third of his career.

Ultra-fast on skis but deficient in shooting (4 faults), the Norwegian Johannes Boe (10th) gave way at the top of the World Cup to his young compatriot and runner-up Sturla Holm Laegreid (23 years old), who finished 2nd.
