It was a brilliant race from Krčmář.
Two zeros, and a great run, and the Czech No. 1 was down for a few days after the Christmas holidays.
Question marks were still hanging around the Krčmář two days ago.
How is he handling the opening race of the new year?
He did it perfectly.
“We’ll see what it will do. It was a very difficult race, I didn’t feel well at all, but probably nobody here,” Krčmář said at the finish line for ČT sport with the eleventh running time.
Sorry, the video has expired.
How hard is it to organize a biathlon in the heart of a national park?
Continuously, he was even second ahead of the German Benedikt Doll by six tenths of a second.
“I had information on the track about how I was going with Ben. But I wouldn’t have done anything better,” admitted Krčmář.
But then the Norwegians started talking into the 10 kilometer race.
And fundamentally.
Johannes Bö solved the problems with the small caliber even before the sprint, and even if – like his compatriot Sturlam Holm Laegreid – he made one mistake on the shooting range, it did not deprive him of the victory, even thanks to the fastest run.
Bö continues to reign supreme in the discipline, winning all four sprints of the season. “Johannes will reach the finish line, we are all shaking our heads because we don’t know how this can happen. He is really good,” Krčmář did not understand.
And so Johannes Bö continues to lead the SP standings. Laegreid finished third by less than 56 seconds. In addition, Johannes’ older brother Tarjei was able to enjoy the first podiums as second.
The innkeeper ended up fifth. The second extended podium and the best result of the Czech biathletes in the SP year.
“I was knocking like a rat on the stand, I had to postpone the shots, but it paid off, I’m happy. Probably the best race in Pokljuka,” he was happy.
Jakub Štvrtecký, on the other hand, was not satisfied at all. “The only positive thing was that my skis went very well. That kept me going. It was a shame lying down on the shooting range, I just couldn’t stand it anymore,” he said after four mistakes.

Adam Václavík even had a total of five errors. “Unfortunately. It was a pain. About caliber wounds.”
At the same time, he did not spend time lying down in training. “Then it’s powerless. I wasn’t aware of the mistake. Five is a shame, it’s a shame,” he didn’t take the napkins.
So far this season he has started in the second league IBU Cup. “There is no room for error here,” he added.
Jonáš Mareček was well aware of this, as he succeeded in his debut in Pokljuka and whitewashed all ten targets.
SP continues on Saturday with fighters, on Sunday mixed relays will be held in Pokljuka. The biathlon elite will then move to Ruhpolding in front of the stormy German backdrop. Watch live broadcasts and news on ČT sport and ČT sport Plus.
