In Le Grand-Bornand
Biathlon: Eder catches up in Bö’s victory
Johannes Thingnes Bö was once again in a class of his own in the last biathlon pursuit of the year in Le Grand-Bornand on Saturday. Simon Eder also put in a strong performance.
The Norwegian Bö celebrated his third win of the season and 79th World Cup success in total with just one miss. Bö won 27.6 seconds ahead of the clear Frenchman Eric Perrot and his compatriot Emilien Jacquelin (2 faults/+47.6 seconds). In the women's event, Germany's Franziska Preuß celebrated her third World Cup victory with one miss.
Austria's only representative in the men's race was veteran Simon Eder, who once again showed great morale. Starting the race in 45th place in the 10 km sprint, the 41-year-old from Salzburg improved by 18 places to 27th place (+2:28.4 min.) after one miss.
Only Austrian Andexer 47th
There was also only one Austrian in the women's race, junior Anna Andexer, after the established ÖSV ski racers in the sprint all failed to even make it onto the start list for the pursuit. Andexer finished in 47th place and thus remained without points.
