Norway maintained their 100% record in biathlon men's World Cup relays on Sunday after a big comeback effort.
Johannes Dale-Skjevdal had ti ski two penalty laps on the second leg but Martin Uldal und Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen fought back en route to victory, with Isak Leknes Frey the other team-member.
The 4x7.5-kilometre race in frosty conditions ended in a five-team fight for victory, with Christiansen clinching it for the Norwegians 2.6 seconds ahead of France, with Sweden another eight-tenth back in third.
Italy, with new World Cup leader Tommaso Giacomel after his sprint/pursuit double this week, and hosts Germany narrowly missed the podium.
A women's pursuit completes the Oberhof events later on Sunday.
