7 misses for two Belarus racers. 

I like mass starts, much more than pursuits

 

At least the mass start is a million times more fair (the pursuit being a separate Olympic medal event is even more bullshit than all those 'urban' things in all kinds of sports), and it's easy to keep track of how things are going and who's doing well.

Hauser & Bendika FTW? But they will need one more miss from Eckhoff IMO.

All which transitions into good TV.  So those here might not like them, but they are very popular to the more causual fan.

Bendeka still in podium positions

Oh my, Baiba! I mean, there's the infamous 4th shooting to go, but still..

Eckhoff is going slower than Hauser/Bendika.

[heywoodu 15,141]

Bendika is completely exhausted...

[Monzanator 4,503]

Gold for Hauser!

One less miss than expected  

 

Oh well, top-10 is still great. And Hauser is an awesome champion.
