Babikov takes surprise victory in Antholz
Anton Babikov secured his second-ever World Cup victory as he came out on top in the individual in Antholz-Anterselva on a day when a lot of the favourites struggled on the range. The Russian, whose only previous win came in 2016 in Oestersund, was the only athlete to shoot clear and finished 9.7 seconds clear of Tarjei Boe, who had the consolation of taking the individual crystal globe thanks to his second runner-up finish in as many individual races, with two misses on the final shoot proving costly.
