10.46: Let’s recap. Johannes Boe won in front of the Swedish Martin Ponsiluoma and his compatriot Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen. Fourth place for the French Quentin Fillon Maillet ahead of Dominik Windisch.
10.45: Dominik Windisch’s is the best result ever for an Italian in a mass start at the Olympics.
10.43: Lukas Hofer finished in twenty-seventh place. Really difficult race for him.
10.41: Splendid fifth place for Dominik Windisch. Too bad for those two errors on the ground in the second polygon. The blue finished more than a minute and a half behind Boe, but he really was excellent in the last lap.
10.40: Fourth position for Quentin Fillon Maillet, who fails to win a medal in every race.
10.39: Silver for the Swedish Ponsiluoma, who closed 40 seconds behind Boe. Resounding bronze for Christiansen over a minute from Boe.
10.38: JOHANNES BOE CONQUERS THE GOLD MEDAL! Fourth title in this Olympics for the Norwegian, who proved to be absolutely the strongest of all.
10.35: The podium is now certain. Johannes Boe won the gold medal, silver for the Swedish Martin Ponsiluoma and bronze for the other Norwegian Vetle Christiansen. Quentin Fillon-Maillet fourth, while Dominik Windisch is fighting to finish fifth.
10.33: DOMINIK WINDISCH IS FIFTH! As always in the wind the blue brings out a wonderful polygon and finds zero. Clamorous comeback by Windisch, who also took advantage of the many mistakes of the others. We hope he can keep up on skis to close this race in the best possible way. There are two mistakes for Hofer.
10.32: CHRISTIANSEN AGAIN! The very fast zero in the last polygon and he will be bronze. Fillon Maillet now comes out of the penalty laps and is fourth more than a minute from the top. There will be no six medals in six games for the Frenchman.
10.30: EVERYTHING HAPPENS! Johannes Boe wins the gold medal despite the last two mistakes. Fillon Maillet jumps in the air who misses three times, while Ponsiluoma leaves the last polygon with an error,
10.29: Here is the last polygon. One mistake could be enough for Johannes Boe.
10.28: The first three are at full speed and perhaps the discussion for the medals is already closed. Johannes Boe leads with 25 seconds over Fillon Maillet and Ponsiluoma. Over one minute Samuelsson’s delay.
10.26: Johannes Boe tries to make a vacuum. Ponsiluoma pays 21 seconds and Fillon Maillet accuses 24. Fourth is the Canadian Christian Gow, still the only one with zero at 53 seconds from the top.
10.24: Nothing to do with the blues. One mistake for Windisch and two for Hofer. The race is already over and at most you can aspire to a placement in the top fifteen.
10.23: Johannes Boe caught the right wind window and fired very fast, making only one mistake. The zero of Ponsiluoma is very important (6 seconds late) and above all of Fillon Maillet, who is third at 15 seconds.
10.22: You enter the third polygon, the first standing.
10.20: Imperious extension by Johannes Boe. Nawrath follows him at two seconds, but the Swede Ponsiluoma, who is third, pays twenty seconds. The Italians, on the other hand, lose a lot on skis and are over a minute behind their heads. The feeling is that the materials are not good.
10.18: Attention to the German Nawrath who did not make a mistake on the ground and is second almost three seconds behind Johannes Boe.
10.17: Another mistake for Lukas Hofer, who is 56 seconds behind Boe. Two mistakes for Windisch who is behind his teammate.
10.15: Johannes Boe makes a void, who gets up with a very rapid zero followed by the Canadian Christian Gow and the Swedish Samuelsson, both still with zero. He made a mistake with Fillon Maillet, who is 38 seconds behind his rival.
10.14: Clamorous Boe and Fillon Maillet, who returned to the head of the group at the entrance of the second polygon. Zero is essential now, especially for the two Azzurri.
10.12: Scott Gow tries to stretch. However, the best are coming. Compact group and the second polygon will be essential for further skimming.
10.10: They got up a little in front and from behind they are all returning. Windisch is still attached to the best in about ten seconds. Hofer is twenty seconds from the top.
10.08: There are few with zero. In the lead is the Swedish Samuelsson ahead of the two Canadians Christian and Scott Gow. Zero also for Tarjei Boe, who is fourth. A mistake, however, for Johannes Boe and Fillon Maillet, who are about fifteen seconds from the top.
10.07: Dominik Windisch’s zero, which is ninth! But a mistake for Hofer.
10.06: You enter the first polygon and there is wind, but less strong than the women’s race.
10.05: WHAT A JOHANNES BOE RHYTHM! Monstrous the Norwegian and only four follow him. Really a hellish pace. To understand who will pay for it at the shooting range.
10.04: It is a really hard first lap and that many could suffer at the shooting range. The group is frayed and Hofer is for example already 10 seconds in the center of the platoon.
10.02: Fillon Maillet and Boe immediately to dictate the pace at the head of the group. High pace from the first meters.
10.00: WE GO! The last biathlon competition of the Beijing 2022 Olympics has begun.
9.59: Here we are! The male mass start begins.
9.55: Quentn Fillon Maillet goes in search of history. No one has ever won six medals in the same Olympics.
9.48: The announced duel is that between Boe and Fillon Maillet, but there are certainly rivals to the Norwegian and French, starting with the direct teammates, the Russians Latypov (who must recover from the relay disaster) and Loginov, the Swede Samuelsson.
9.41: Attention to the unknown wind, which made the women’s race really unpredictable, surprisingly won by the French Braisaz. Anything could really happen at the shooting range and with the wind Windisch has already achieved a feat in the past …
9.35: The perfect match will be needed for the two blues, who are certainly not among the favorites for a medal. Everything seems set for the expected duel between Johannes Boe and Quentin Fillon Maillet, with the Frenchman who has won five medals in five races.
9.33: It is the last great opportunity for Lukas Hofer and Dominik Windisch to give the first men’s medal for Italy in biathlon.
9.30: We begin our live broadcast with the men’s biathlon mass start.
LIVE LIVE OF THE WOMEN’S MASS START FROM 8.00
How to follow the race on TV / streaming – The startlist of the race – The presentation of the tender
Hello and welcome back to LIVE LIVE of the men’s mass start, valid test for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. On the Chinese snow we are preparing to experience a highly exciting test on the four polygons with an uncertain result.
The special note will be the French Quentin Fillon Maillet, always on the podium in the five previous releases: two golds, three silvers. Furthermore, well-timed: silver-gold-silver-gold-silver. It does not take a genius to predict the result that would complete the logical sequence: the transalpine naturally hopes for it, also because in fact he is the main favorite for success.
At home Italy confides in Lukas Hofer. The South Tyrolean went from perfection of pursuit to the empty passage of the relay. If today he were to be the hofer of pursuit, he could dream. He will also be in the race Dominik Windisch that in this format has been able to exalt itself, more or less three years ago.
OA Sport offers you the LIVE LIVE of the men’s mass start, valid test for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics: news in real time and constant updates. It starts at 10.00 Italian. Have fun!
