Eric Perrot, Emilien Jacquelin, Fabien Claude and Fillon Maillet finished almost thirty seconds behind the Norwegians at Hochfilzen.

The Blues, with Quentin Fillon Maillet at the conclusion, once again took second place, behind Norway’s Johannes Boe, in the men’s relay on Sunday in Hochfilzen (Austria), second stage of the Biathlon World Cup.

Eric Perrot, Emilien Jacquelin, Fabien Claude and Fillon Maillet, who used six pick balls on the shooting range, finished 28 seconds 7/10 behind Norway represented by Sturla Laegreid, Tarjei Boe, Johannes Boe and Vetle Christiansen (5 draw balls).

The podium is the same as that of the first men’s relay of the winter run in Östersund (Sweden) at the end of November, since Germany, despite a penalty lap and nine pick balls, climbs to the third step, a little more of one minute.
