Overview
- Tommaso Giacomel completed a perfect weekend by adding the 12.5 km pursuit to his sprint win to move top of the World Cup with 611 points, 51 ahead of the absent Johan‑Olav Botn.
- Despite 14/20 shooting, Giacomel cleaned his final five standing targets to fend off Martin Uldal by 4 seconds and Sebastian Samuelsson by 9 seconds.
- France’s relay of Lou Jeanmonnot, Océane Michelon, Justine Braisaz‑Bouchet and Julia Simon won by roughly 54 seconds over Norway with Germany third, using eight spares and no penalty loops in sub‑zero conditions.
- Julia Simon returned to the quartet after a suspension and recent conviction and anchored confidently to close out the victory.
- French men missed the pursuit podium as Quentin Fillon Maillet finished sixth and Éric Perrot eighth, ceding ground in windy shooting conditions.
