Biathlon in Ruhpolding
Öberg wins mass start, Gandler falls back
Tyrolean Anna Gandler finished 15th in the mass start at the end of the biathlon World Cup competitions in Ruhpolding after a strong start.
The sixth-placed individual skier only missed her shot in the last standing start on Sunday, which dropped her out of the top ranks. Elvira Öberg from Sweden secured victory for the second time this season with no mistakes. Former world champion Lisa Hauser came 24th with three penalties.
Tommaso Giacomel from Italy was a surprise winner in the men's event, beating even the Norwegian aces without missing a shot. The 24-year-old celebrated his first World Cup victory ahead of Sturla Holm Laegreid (+6.3 sec./1 penalty loop) and superstar Johannes Thingnes Bö (+11.4/2). Bö missed out on a possible victory at the last shooting on the day after announcing his retirement at the end of the season. David Komatz finished 30th and last after four penalties. Next up are the races in Antholz on Thursday as the last stop before the World Championships.
