Biathlete hooks failed: trust our concept. At the end of the World Cup in Hochfilzen, Benedik

The German biathletes do not wish to be unsettled by their terrifyingly weak team lead to the persecution race at the end of the World Cup in Hochfilzen.

We continue to trust our principle. We are encouraged that this will pay off, said sports director Felix Bittering from the German Ski Association in Austria: Now we are attempting to gather strength and be fit for the next week to be in shape again to provide before Christmas. In the searching race on Sunday, Benedict Doll was just 18th in Tyrol as the very best DSV ski hunter. Justus Strew (26th), Roman Sees (36. ), Johannes Kuhn (37th), David Nobel (42nd) and Philipp Nazareth (54th) were likewise without possibility in the fourth win of the Norwegian Johannes Thingies BO.

We got a bit of it, it becomes part of it, stated Bitter ling. The bad beginning position after the sprint contributed to the reality that there was very little possible from the outset.

Norwegians running completely out of the edge and band

In this insanity field with the Norwegians running entirely out of the edge and band, you simply have to run the risk of from the beginning, stated Bitter ling. In some cases you are rewarded for it, however sometimes not, he emphasized: I just understand that we have actually trained well that we have a great environment in the group. We capture each other and after that there are much better days once again.

The very best must follow today. On Thursday (2:10 p.m./ ARD and Eurosport) it continues with the sprint in Annecy/Le Grand-Bornand. The last races in France will happen in France before the Christmas break. However, the guys already had success in this young winter season: With the season, there were already puts second (Contiolahti) and 3 (Hochfilzen), in addition to a third place for Roman Sees and David Nobel in Finland.
