Germany claimed an emphatic victory in the final men’s relay competition of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) World Cup season, but it was Norway who came away with the crystal globe after a third-place finish in Nové Město na Moravě.
Phillip Nawrath, Erik Lesser, Benedikt Doll and Arnd Peiffer took control in the first leg of the 4x7.5km relay and did not look back in a dominant performance in the Czech Republic.
Using just five spare rounds, Germany finished in a winning time of 1hr 12min 28.1sec with Nawrath anchoring his team to their first relay victory in four years.
