When the pressure was on in the final standing stage of this afternoon’s Nove Mesto na Morave Men’s 4 X 7.5 km Relay, France’s Quentin Fillon Maillet delivered a clutch performance of five blindingly fast shots, sealing victory in 1:16:24.3. Fillon Maillet’s brilliant last stage came as he shot side-by-side with Norway’s Johannes Thingnes Boe, who faltered with shaking legs, ending up with a penalty, setting for second place, 1:26.6 back. France’s win gave them a sweep of the World Cup Relays this season and the World Cup Relay Score title. Their only blemish was a loss to Norway at the IBU World Championships.
