Men’s pursuit title goes to Jacquelin
French biathlete Emilien Jacquelin is the winner of Sunday’s pursuit race at the World Championships in Pokljuka. With a perfect shooting record, he clinched the title from Sweden’s Sebastian Samuelsson. Johannes Thingnes Bo of Norway won bronze.
The surprise winner of yesterday’s sprint, Swedish competitor Martin Ponsiluoma, had the best position at the outset, but he missed two targets on the opening shooting to create an opportunity for his pursuers.
The 25-year-old Jacquelin, who is considered a supreme runner, was neck-an-neck with Bo in the second round and unlike Bo hit all targets to emerge victorious.
