Biathlon: World Cup, Giacomel wins mass start in Le Grand Bornard

Turin, 21 December (LaPresse) – Tommaso Giacomel takes victory in the mass start in Le Grand Bornard, valid for the Biathlon World Cup, and he does so in style, launching a solo breakaway in the penultimate lap before firing a burst of shots in the final shooting range and enjoying the final lap in perfect solitude. This is the third personal victory for the 25-year-old from Trentino, the second of the season after the sprint in Hochfilzen: the Primiero finance officer ends 2025 in the best possible way, a year that has literally exalted him, allowing him to make a leap in quality that has led him to become one of the main protagonists of world biathlon. ‘It’s incredible, winning here was my biggest dream in biathlon,’ were Tommaso Giacomel’s first words after his success in the mass start in Le Gran Bornard, valid for the Biathlon World Cup. “I have to say that today I felt pretty unbeatable. The mistake on the ground was my fault, it had nothing to do with the wind or anything else, it was just my fault. And I’m simply proud of how I handled the subsequent situations and the standing shooting ranges,‘ admitted the Italian. ’I wanted to take an advantage, even a small one, and I could hear the crowd cheering for the others and not for me… it was something truly incredible.”
