Biathlon World Cup: relive Quentin Fillon Maillet’s French double in front of Emilien Jacquelin on – franceinfo

Seventh in the sprint on Friday, Quentin Fillon Maillet achieved an almost perfect pursuit on Saturday 11 December in Hochfilzen. With only one shooting error, he managed, on skis, to catch up with the German leader Johannes Kuehn, to reach the last launch pad, at the same time as him and to impose enormous pressure on him. And the German cracked with the rifle.

Behind, Simon Desthieux and Emilien Jacquelin fought a battle with the Swede Sebastian Samuelson and Trajei Boe in particular. And the French duo emerged victorious after a totally crazy sprint. Except that a few minutes later, the classification was changed, Simon Desthieux losing his 3rd place in favor of the Swede Sebastian Samuelson, following the photo-finish. Because of this final change of position, Emilien Jacquelin misses the leader’s jersey in the general classification of the World Cup by seven small points, in favor of Samuelson. Quentin Fillon Maillet climbed to 4th position.
