Only Weger there
The starting field in Switzerland is even smaller. Only Benjamin Weger slipped out of their ranks in today’s race. All other athletes are not placed well enough in the World Cup and could not finish at the front in the final competitions in Oslo.

Two Austrians
The fact that only two Austrians were allowed to start reflects the difficult season in the Alpine country. Only Simon Eder and Felix Leitner will start again today. For both, a result at the top should be more of a surprise.

Will Lesser crown his career with victory?
Erik Lesser is one of them. The German announced the end of his career a few days ago, but has been at a high level since then and yesterday celebrated the third win of his World Cup career. With strong mileage and good form at the shooting range, a lot is possible again today, even the fourth career win! In addition to Lesser, Benedikt Doll should also be considered, who still has opportunities in the discipline World Cup. Johannes Kühn, Roman Rees as well as Philipp Nawrath and David Zobel are also represented at the final World Cup.

Who gets the day’s win?
Sturla Holm Laegreid is at the top of the list of favorites for today’s mass start after a strong sprint and third place in the pursuit. In addition to him, Quentin Fillon Maillet and Sebastian Samuelsson should certainly be taken into account. But there are also some starters behind who could attack today.

Small ball not yet taken
The small crystal globe for the mass start is not yet awarded before the season finale. But everything indicates that this Quentin Fillon Maillet will go, who has already won the overall World Cup as well as the sprint and pursuit World Cup. The Frenchman is 15 points ahead of Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen. Benedikt Doll is 19 points behind.
