Career highlight for Komatz
Komatz, who had had a very difficult start to the season, put in a spirited race in Chiemgau. The 33-year-old shone at the shooting range, hitting all 20 targets. He skied solidly on the cross-country ski run and achieved a career highlight. In the end, Komatz was just under two minutes behind the winner Sörum, who also had no mistakes. With ninth place, he undercut the red-white-red men's team's best result of the season so far, a 13th place by Simon Eder in Kontiolahti. Eder finished 36th with three penalty minutes.
Felix Leitner (1 miss) missed out on World Cup points in 42nd place, Patrick Jakob (3) and Magnus Oberhauser (2) finished outside the top 60. The women's 15 km individual race will take place in Ruhpolding on Thursday (2.10 pm), with the men's and women's relay competitions taking place on Friday and Saturday. The mass start races will be held on Sunday.
