The Frenchman, who had been silver in this race at the recent World Championships in Pokljuka, managed to stay ahead of Sebastian Samuelsson of Sweden and Arnd Pfeiffer of Germany. No medals went to none of the biathletes from the strong team of Norway: the best of them, Sturla Holm Laegried finished fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/biathlonnmnm.yashicadev.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P1020201-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4619\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Czech biathletes did not have a good race: Michal Kr\u010dm\u00e1\u0159 finished 39th, which gave him meagre two points in the World Cup classification, and Jakub \u0160tvrteck\u00fd (45th) and Ond\u0159ej Moravec (47th) only managed to qualify for the pursuit race tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The race winner, Simon Desthieux, had achieved five silver medals until today, but Saturday in Nov\u00e9 M\u011bsto na Morav\u011b found him in excellent shape. No misses at the shooting range, fast shooting (11th best of all biathletes), ninth fastest run time and rocket-like performance on the finish line (2nd best) combined and were decisive in the Frenchman\u2019s victory. But it was the performance in the finish that made it happen for him, as Desthieux run into the last lap with the same time as Sebastian Samuelsson. Still, he passed the finish line 2.4 seconds ahead of the Swede!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/biathlonnmnm.yashicadev.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/P1020161-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4607\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is fantastic, a crazy day it has been!

Fantastic, really fantastic!\u201d the Frenchman said, overjoyed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>French joy was in stark contrast with Czech disappointment. \u201cI missed both in prone and standing position.
