The fourth stage of the Biathlon World Cup, which takes place in Annecy, France, will continue on Friday. We bring to your attention the forecast for the men's 10 km sprint with two firing lines.
On the eve of the women's sprint did not bring loud sensations, and the victory was won by the leader of the overall standings, Marta Roiseland. But men have no obvious leader yet. Sebastian Samuelsson is in the lead in the general classification, but Emilien Jacquelin loses to him by only 7 points. Also not far from the leader are Vetle Christiansen, Kenten Fillon-Maillet and Tarjei Be. All of them are contenders for success in this race, as well as the winner of the Big Crystal Globe last season, Johannes Be. Betting on the winner of the men's sprint is very risky. Last week in Hochfilzen, 11 biathletes were at once in half a minute in terms of pure speed. We will take a chance to play for one of the owners of the Jacquelin track, who shoots with 90 percent accuracy in sprints this season.
Another Frenchman, Kentin Fillon-Maillet, can also be on the podium. We will not write off Russian athletes either. On Thursday, our women looked very decent in the sprint. If men also make progress, then there should be exactly ten Latypes and Logins.
Duels also have a lot to choose from. After a nondescript season, Johannes Be is gradually adding, who is already able to fight for awards again. Another Norwegian, Christiansen, looks very stable. The men's national team of Belarus is also encouraging, where Anton Smolsky began to stand out as the leader. In the confrontation of the Russians, Khalili and Povarnitsyn are betting on Karim, given that Alexander is still a little damp. But Daniil Serokhvostov can be very high, given his speed - if only he didn't fail the shooting. Lithuanian Vytautas Strolya is also good at the starting stages.
