Norwegian outstanding
Simon Eder in 13th place in Kontiolahti
Veteran Simon Eder was by far the best Austrian in the first individual race of the biathlon season. The 41-year-old from Salzburg made no mistakes over 15 km in Kontiolahti, Finland, on Tuesday and finished 13th, 1:54.9 minutes behind the leader.
Endre Strömsheim led a Norwegian one-two-three ahead of Johannes Thingnes Bö and Sturla Holm Laegreid.
Eder top at the shooting range
Eder once again showed his class at the shooting range, sinking all 20 shots, ultimately missing the top ten by 5.5 seconds. Felix Leitner was the second best ÖSV athlete in 40th place (+3:44.9) after three misses at the last shooting. David Komatz finished 45th (+4:04.8/2 misses), Fredrik Mühlbacher was 62nd (+4:39.9/2), Patrick Jakob 83rd (+6:09.3/4).
The Norwegians were in a class of their own in the battle for the podium places. The penalty-free Strömsheim saved three seconds on overall World Cup winner Bö, who missed once. Laegreid, who was also clear, was 24.2 seconds behind.
