Philipp Horn delivers a good sprint in his home stadium, finishing seventh. He wanted to attack in the pursuit. But now he has to take a break.

For biathlete Philipp Horn, the home World Cup in Oberhof has ended prematurely. The 31-year-old has to miss today's pursuit (12:00/ARD and Eurosport) and the final relay on Sunday (11:00) due to a viral infection. Horn has been suffering from cold symptoms since Friday, as announced by the German Ski Association.

Horn, who lives in Oberhof, had finished a good seventh place in the ten-kilometre sprint on Thursday. At 39 seconds behind sprint winner Tommaso Giacomel, he had a good starting position for the hunt race.
