Johannes Bo finally shoots a "zero" and climbs into the top 25.
Dudchenko has finished already, currently in 3rd place, but with 4 misses and a rather weak pace; now Anton will rapidly drop down as he had the second starting number.

Tarjei Bo shot cleanly at the second shooting, currently in 4th place is Johannes' older brother. Stugla Legreid shot his first prone "zero," a good claim for victory, but for him, this is just the beginning.

Mandzyn makes one miss at the first prone, and Dudchenko also incurs a penalty minute after the standing. Currently, Anton is in second place, +25.4 behind 3rd, but this won’t last long. He has already been overtaken by the Finn Haikkinen.
Great work from Tishchenko, he shot a zero, but is losing a lot on pace. Currently, the leader after the first prone is the Italian Goffer.
The favorites will be starting soon, including Samuelsson, who has already hit the track.
Great work from Tishchenko
