The first race of the 7th<\/sup> round of the World Cup series in Nov\u00e9 M\u011bsto na Morav\u011b is over. At five thirty in the afternoon, women started into sprint with the length of 7.5 km. The weather was mild and sunny from morning, and it had an impact on the quality of snow on the track. Moreover, gusty wind begun to blow later in the afternoon, which meant that 98 biathletes could expect a difficult race. Among the Czech women, Mark\u00e9ta Davidov\u00e1<\/strong> was the best to deal with the conditions and took the bronze from the sprint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denise Hermann<\/strong> took the gold with time of 18 minutes and 51 seconds. The German racer who started with number 3 on her bib, did not make a single mistake at the shooting range. She came to the finish as the first racer, and no contestant from the field managed to get ahead of her. The silver went to Anais Bescond<\/strong> of France, who was 27 seconds slower than the German. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brilliant performance and great concentration brought the bronze medal to Mark\u00e9ta Davidov\u00e1<\/strong>. The Czech racer missed the very first target in the first prone position but did not make any other mistake. She was lucky, too. The last shot in standing position hit the edge of the target\u2026 but the target showed the white side. Luckily. In Nov\u00e9 M\u011bsto, Mark\u00e9ta therefore followed up on her bronzes from sprints in Oestersund and Annecy or mix in Anterselva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am satisfied with my performance today. Looks like I am living a bronze season, and I am glad for it, naturally. It is sad that it has happened in an empty stadium,\u201d Mark\u00e9ta Davidov\u00e1 said. Last year in Nov\u00e9 M\u011bsto na Morav\u011b, Mark\u00e9ta had not succeeded in sprint, had not qualified for the pursuit race. It had been so painful that she had cried. The situation has turned for the better this year. \u201cI cried a river last year, but now I am overjoyed. Finally, I made a good result in Nov\u00e9 M\u011bsto na Morav\u011b,\u201d the native of Janov nad Nisou said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe race was really difficult due to wind and heavy snow. However, it was good that we had tailwind at the stadium because the section leading towards the shooting range seems endless and drains you in headwind,\u201d she said, finding some positives about the sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She believes that the Czech quartet will be successful in the relay race on Saturday: \u201cIt would be good to keep the form we had in Anterselva.\u201d Czech women finished fourth at the recent World Championships in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing 39th<\/sup>, the bronze medallist from Anterselva, Lucie Charv\u00e1tov\u00e1<\/strong>, was the second best Czech woman. Lucie had to run penalty loops due to the fact that she missed three targets. Eva Kristejn Puskar\u010d\u00edkov\u00e1<\/strong> had two misses and finished 57th<\/sup>, Jessica Jislov\u00e1 was 64th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
