France won the men’s 4x7.5km relay in Ruhpolding in 1:08:58.1, recovering from sixteenth place after the opening leg. Fabien Claude, Oscar Lombardot, Quentin Fillon Maillet and Eric Perrot used four spare rounds alongside one penalty loop.
Lombardot hit all ten targets to begin the recovery, and Fillon Maillet moved France into reach of the leaders. Perrot then shot clean in both stages, combining accuracy and speed to leave the range with an advantage he preserved to the finish.
Norway took second, 6.2 seconds behind, and Germany placed third at 7.9 seconds. Sweden finished fourth. Estonia’s fifth place was its best relay result in 23 years, while Czechia completed the top six in a competition featuring eight different leading nations.
