Biathletes Disappoint - Major Frustration for Eder: 'This Isn't Fun!'

In the men's category, starting runner David Komatz was significantly behind the leaders and handed over with a 1:09 minute deficit in 13th place. "This is not satisfactory; too much time was lost," said the Styrian.

Following the women's disappointment, the men faced similar challenges at the home World Cup in Hochfilzen. Team members David Komatz, Simon Eder, Felix Leitner, and Frederik Mühlbacher found themselves 5:00.8 minutes behind in the staff race.

Despite some strong performances, including error-free shooting from Leitner and Mühlbacher during Eder's first staff debut, they could not gain any positions, having registered a total of seven times at the shooting range, making it one of the best teams present.

France clinched victory, finishing 49 seconds ahead of Norway, with Sweden taking third place, 1:59.2 minutes behind.
