In the Italian resort of Ridnaun-Val Ridanna took fifth place in Saturday’s sprint and after four out of thirteen events he already has 190 points.

He also did well in the final running circuit and finally moved from eighth place to fifth. His loss to the podium was less than seven seconds.
German Leonhard Pfund enjoyed the victory, moving to second place in the overall classification with a deficit of 14 points to Borgula.
“I didn’t expect such a start to the season. On the other hand, I hoped to fight for such places, because we trained a lot. I evaluate the start of the season very positively. I think there were things that could have turned out better, but overall I liked it .
I had a pretty slow first lap today, I lost a lot of time, but then I picked up speed. In the end, I already felt the previous race, I had quite enough.
I am satisfied with the shooting. That one shot will definitely freeze, I wanted to give two zeros, but I think that 0+1 is very good for my conditions,” said Borguľa in a short interview for the website slovenskybiatlon.sk.
In addition to him, three other Slovak representatives were also in action.
Šimon Adamov (2+1) took 22nd place, Markus Sklenárik finished 66th with the same shooting record, and Sebastián Ilavský, who missed half of the ten targets, was ranked 94th.
