Niklas Hartweg continues to accumulate good results in the World Cup. The Schwyzois took 11th place in the individual 20km in Ruhpolding, Germany, despite 2 shooting errors.
He missed Hartweg 7 seconds to find a place in the top 10. Like Hartweg, Johannes Thingnes Boe suffered 2 penalty laps, this did not prevent the Norwegian from celebrating a 60th World Cup success in this event disrupted by a power cut. This incident notably affected the lighting of the launch pad.
Stalder and Finello in the points
“A power outage at the stadium causes transmission problems. (…) The timing of the competition was not affected by the power cut. The competition continues as normal and the usual race jury will take place at the end of the competition“, tweeted the International Biathlon Federation (IBU) during the race.
With Sebastian Stalder (27) and Jeremy Finello (36th), 2 other Swiss managed to score points in the event disputed in the Bavarian mecca of biathlon.
