Doll and Ress best DSV starters
From a German perspective, Benedikt Doll (1 | 0 | 0 | 1) had his sights set on the best chance of a medal. After two penalties, however, his dream of a medal was shattered because he didn’t have a place in the top three in his legs this time. With sixth place and 1:07.1 minutes behind the winner, he got a strong result.
“Today it was clear that you have to shoot zero or one“So Doll.”I don’t know whether I should cry or be happy, you can’t really buy much from the placement now.” The Black Forester would have liked a few spectators along the route because it was very lonely. Nevertheless, the result gives him “very much confidence.”
Rees happy with good form
Roman Rees (1:21.6 min./0|0|1|0) also showed an outstanding race and finished seventh behind Doll. He doesn’t want to mourn the chance that a podium finish would have been possible with a perfect shooting. On the track he ended up”can add one more,” Rees said. That was a sign for him, “that he’s in good spirits.“
Lesser misses mass start place
Erik Lesser(0|3|0|2) was also up for a place in the mass start, for which he had to finish in the top 15. With a quick and perfect first shot, he took up the chase. Then followed a completely screwed up second shooting that gave the 33-year-old a whopping three penalty minutes.
In the end, he failed to hit all the targets again and shook his head at the hit pattern. He was only able to get a disappointing result. 67th place does not meet the expectations of the 33-year-old.
Boldly off the roll at the shooting range
Johannes Kühn had already been at the top of the podium this season, but in the toughest individual race, the 30-year-old collected three penalty minutes in the first shooting. (3|2|1|0). Since there were three more to follow, it didn’t help the Bavarian that he was in good running shape again after his corona infection. In the end it was only a place outside the top 30. Kühn couldn’t explain the shooting. “The race was practically over after 10 minutes“, so the DSV athlete. “That was a slap in the face.”
