The second day of the World Cup event in Nov\u00e9 M\u011bsto na Morav\u011b was successful for the Czech nationaI team again thanks to Michal Kr\u010dm\u00e1\u0159 who finished fourth in the sprint. The gold and bronze went to the Norwegian brothers, Johannes and Tarjei Boe: finishing in time under 25 minutes, Johannes gave his opponents very little chance. Fillon Maillet of France, who took the silver, finished 22 second behind him, and Tarjei lagged more than one minute behind his brother. All medallists did not make a single mistake at the shooting range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone had expected a duel between Johannes Boe and Martin Fourcade, but this was not the case eventually. Boe run brilliantly and was in the leading position from the very beginning. Moreover, he supported it by flawless performance at the shooting range. Fourcade could not compete with him in this race, both on the track (where he got unlucky when he broke one of his poles), and at the shooting range. He missed one target in the shooting section. The French had their flag flying high anyway as Quentin Fillon Maillet wedged in between the Norwegian brothers and took the silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michal Kr\u010dm\u00e1\u0159 finished fourth, and this represents his second best result in an individual race in the World Cup series, and means that his bronze from mass race in Ruhpolding 2017 remains his personal best. At the beginning of the race, Michal Kr\u010dm\u00e1\u0159 was not the best of the pack as his time from running ranked 25th<\/sup> only. \u201cWell, this is typical of me as I always try to manage my performance well from the tactical point of view,\u201d he explained. This strategy gives a racer the opportunity to put maximum effort into the last lap. In the finish, Michal was the fourth fastest, and climbed up from the seventh place to the final fourth, thus outrunning the French world champions – Martin Fourcade and Emilien Jacquelin, and Jakov Fak of Slovenia. \u201cEverything worked out the way I wanted it to work out,\u201d the racer said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He only felt sad for not being able to share his success with spectators. He even had earphones during the race and shut himself away into his own world, which he does not normally do. He said he had listened to rock music during the race. And despite the fact that the pewter medal is usually considered an unlucky result, Michal perceives it as a great result, especially due to the fact that this was sprint. \u201cYou really have to connect running and shooting into a seamless whole,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jakub \u0160tvrteck\u00fd turned out to be the second best Czech racer. This \u201cyoung gun\u201d finished 31st<\/sup> though he had deal with challenges during the race: he broke a flange on his rifle and had to get a spare one as a result of his crash. \u201cI came in in a risky fashion and left the tip of my left ski. This made me flip and I failed to stand on my own two feet,\u201d he commented on his crash. He did not have a single miss at the shooting range though in standing position, he had to use a spare rifle that is \u201cvery short in comparison to the standard one,\u201d as he deemed. \u201cI was lucky, there was one close shave, but I am glad I managed not to make any mistake on the home track,\u201d the native of Velk\u00e9 Karlovice said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Ond\u0159ej Moravec had to run one penalty loop and finished 41st<\/sup>. The races in Nov\u00e9 M\u011bsto na Morav\u011b are the last in the career of Michal \u0160lesingr, who had to run two penalty loops and finished 56th<\/sup>. \u201cToday\u2019s race brought conditions that are not what I like \u2013 heavy, slow and deep snow. I prefer hard-packed snow. This means that I struggled even more so, and this is why it may be that this race is inscribed deep in my memory. I will certainly; while lying on the massage table after the race,\u201c Michal flashed a rather tired smile. I regretted having missed two targets at the shooting range. \u201cWith mistakes like this, it is impossible to keep up with the best. I just screwed up, though there was not the pressure from tens of thousands of fans.\u201d Michal also commented on his 18 seasons in the World Cup series: \u201cIt was long. Very long.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Adam V\u00e1clav\u00edk, the second in the supersprint at European Championships, made five mistakes at the shooting range, and finished 77th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
