Russian biathlete Eduard Latypov finished fourth at the World Cup in Ostersund, Sweden. The results are available on the website of the International Biathlon Union (IBU).
The athlete did not make a single mistake and was 26.1 seconds behind the leader. The winner was the Swede Sebastian Samuelsson, who covered the distance in 22 minutes 58.7 seconds and made one penalty. Next on the podium were the French Emilien Jacquelin (+18 seconds) and Quentin Fillon-Maillet (+21.5).
On November 27, Latypov made a mistake during the individual 20 km race at the World Cup and lost his chance to win a medal. The 27-year-old mixed up the finish lines on the last loop. Instead of the finish line, Latypov went to the firing line. Due to a mistake, he lost time and lost chances for medals in the race. As a result, he took seventh place.
According to the results of the World Cup last season, Latypov took 18th place in the overall standings.
The stage of the World Cup in Östersund will last until December 5. The next race for biathletes will be the 4 x 7.5 kilometer relay. It will take place on December 4 and will begin at 17:00 Moscow time.
