After the home World Championships in Oberhof without a medal, the German biathlon men also missed a podium place at the start of the World Cup in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic.
At the 15th win of the season by Norway’s dominator Johannes Thingnes Bö, Roman Rees took eighth place in the sprint over ten kilometers as the best athlete of the German Ski Association (DSV). Rees missed a disc in prone. He finished 1:27.4 minutes behind the overall World Cup leader.
Bö, who won the World Cup sprint classification early due to his success, gave the competition with the fastest time no chance and made no mistakes at the shooting range. Second was his brother Tarjei Bö, also shooting clean, 30 seconds back. The podium was completed by another Norwegian, Vetle Sjastad Christiansen (1 penalty/+1:15.2 minutes).
Former world champion Benedikt Doll had two penalties. Thanks to the seventh fastest time, he still finished in twelfth place (+1:45.0 minutes). Justus Strelow (+1:55.8 minutes) was 16th with one shooting error, Johannes Kühn missed the target twice in the second shooting. As a result, he fell back to 20th place (+2:16.6 minutes). Philipp Nawrath as 30th (3 shooting errors/+2:32.6 minutes) and David Zobel as 38th (3/+2:46.1) also played no role in the decision about the top positions.
