On January 15, Russian biathletes took first place in the relay race at the sixth stage of the World Cup in Ruhpolding, Germany.
The team included Karim Khalili, Daniil Serokhvostov, Alexander Loginov and Maxim Tsvetkov. Biathletes covered the distance of 4×7.5 km in 1 hour 11 minutes 6.1 seconds, using four additional cartridges. The second place was taken by the Germans (+7.0; 2). Belarusians were third (+23.0; 6).
From the result of the Norwegian men’s team, which was seventh (+2.00.6; 10), the judges subtracted two minutes. In the first stage of the relay, Swede Peppe Femling fired at the setting of Norwegian Alexander Fjeld Andersen, who lost a lot of time at the turn because of this and went for two penalty loops.
