Alexander Schmid
only finished 42nd after a driving error in the first run in Alta Badia.
Julian Rauchfuss
and
Fabian Gratz
also did not make it into the top 30. The race on the legendary Gran Risa was won by the Norwegian Henrik Kristofferson ahead of the Swiss Marco Odermatt and the Austrian Manuel Feller.
“Quite bitter,” said Schmid, commenting on his run.

Black day for German biathletes

Johannes Kühn
and

, on the other hand, were able to convince with places six and seven.
Emilien Jacquelin's home double success in the mass start in front of his compatriot Quentin Fillon Maillet and the Norwegian Tarjei Bö was a conciliatory conclusion for the German team.
