Garanichev from 41 to top 10

And that's why the whole idea of a pursuit is even shittier than Fourcade winning every race  

 

Not because it's Garanichev, but because he might be the best today yet isn't on the podium.

wow this was close

[dcro 10,210]

Belgium actually had the fastest time today.

 

6 seconds faster than Fourcade's one miss + victory lap

Belgium!! 

 

Fillon-Maillet from 16th to 3rd, and Béatrix from 31st to 8th! 

 

Aaand... Martin Fourcade 

 

I hope the women's team will follow and have amazing results too!

It would be cool to have pursuit where athletes start in reverse (60th from sprint starts first). Obviously, not at championships, but maybe at the end of the season or something.

Finally, a World Cup event on early enough for me to watch!
