         Participation in all the races of the world championship – not bravado Frenchman, and punishment for the opponents. Following the mixed doubles left Sprint, Pursuit ahead with half a minute advantage. Fourcade embarked on Einar and can significantly reduce gold reserves for Norway. Accurate shooting, confident work on the course with a focus on the third round, and the impotence of rivals brought Marten eighth victory at the world championships – the same Rafael Poiret. Fourcade started eighth and did not lose. Judging by the results, the state highway to enter the distance of the third group (which started the Norwegians and Germans) did not change significantly.
       

         As expected, the Norwegian fruitfully spent time before the World Cup and regained accurate shooting. Reach flawless Frenchman prevented Ole Ainaro age. Technically veteran no longer withstand the opponent’s speed, although it appears to the maximum possible. 31.9 seconds – too much even 5 seconds advantage on rate of fire here did not help. Bjoerndalen knowingly said that will fight for the victory in the sprint, the distance is longer than it is now unlikely to pull. Already his speed has dropped substantially in the third round (from 10 to 16 March), in the same persecution Norwegian veteran is not a favorite.
       

Johannes Boe – precision

         The younger brother of forces rife: on the first lap, he even walked Frukada for three seconds, and the entire course of the race lost only 11. But Johannes summed shooting again at the front. One slip and the penalty loop knocked him out of the top three – the total backlog Norwegian was 35.5 seconds. Subtract 25 to the circle – is only 10. It is clear that for 150 meters Boe hardly spent too much energy. But he was on the heels of the Frenchman, and probably would have found in a valiant body has little energy to push. And psychologically Johannes realized that fighting only for money, so it is slip Norwegian deprived viewers hot fight for the victory in the sprint.
       

Eugene Garanichev – third round

         First round – two seconds, the second – three, the third – 15. This schedule backlog Garanicheva from March to speed. Yes, do not forget the bug on maturation and an additional 25 seconds (on average). But the key to the race was Eugene just drop speed to the finish line, they sought extra 15 seconds gap (40 – 25 = 15). Garanichev made the best team in Russia is not only a general result (sixth, the next – Babikov, 23 minutes), but also by the speed (19.7 March), the others lost more than a minute (Anton Shipulin – from +1.07,3 Fourcade). Based on this indicator, Garanichev went to the World Cup the best, but over the balance of power should work.
