Fourcade beat all of his opponents with almost half a minute difference between him and second placed Czech biathlete Ondrej Moravec. Jakov Fak finished in excellent third place with just a 0,4s time difference between him and Moravec.
Klemen Bauer was also very fast on the track, but missed twice at both shooting ranges and finished in 26th place. If his performance were flawless, he would have also been in the running for the top spots. Lenart Oblak finished in 88th place.
