Biathlon Prediction: Men Sprint Race at the World Cup in Hochfilzen

Current form

Laegreid performed at a high level in the first stage in Kontiolahti, without allowing himself any obvious failures. In the short individual race and in the mass start, the Norwegian finished third. In the sprint, the result was worse - ninth place, hindered by one miss in the prone position, plus, in terms of time, he was unable to demonstrate his maximum, showing only the 14th time on the move. In general, like many Norwegians, Sturla brought himself to the start of the season in good shape and is quite capable of improving even more, as he has done more than once. In the overall World Cup standings, the biathlete is currently in second place and is only one point behind Perrault, who took the lead. It should be noted that last season in Hochfilzen, he finished second in the sprint.

Interesting trends, statistics

• Legreid shooting accuracy this season is 95%
• Last season, the Norwegian biathlete had a shooting accuracy of 90% in sprint races
