The spearhead of the blue biathlon took the first individual Olympic medal, thanks to two more than perfect shooting sessions. A dream materialized at the third Olympics for Dorothea Wierer, who once again proved to be there when it counts, bringing the number of medals of the Italian expedition to Beijing to 10, one week before the start of the Games, with the splendid bronze in the Sprint behind to Mars Roeiseland and Elvira Oeberg. "The standing range I shot fast, I didn't think much, but the last lap was very hard because my legs were cooked - Doro told Eurosport microphones - I knew I could have a good race with a double zero, on skiing I gave my all and it was enough, so I'm very happy with this result ”.
And to a specific question from a Pursuit point of view, in which she will start from third place with many chances in an ideal format for her, the South Tyrolean champion replies: "It's a good position, we'll see why the cold should return so ... now we won't I still think ".
