Both Sprints have decreed a Norwegian domination, female with Mars Roeiseland, male with a newfound Johannes Boe. Tomorrow the norge have serious chances, given the potential and the margin at the start, to make a double back to back and win a poker of gold. Italy is playing a new medal chance with Dorothea, who will start 37 "from the tread and a few seconds from the virtual silver. The Azzurri will instead have the objective of a comeback and to win the pass for the starting line.
Mars Roeiseland will open the women's pursuit with a 31 "margin on Elvira Oeberg and 37" on Wierer, who will have to watch his back from Hauser (+47 "), Tandrevold (+ 1'00") and Reztsova (+ 1'05 "). The Sprint Olympic champion is chasing the fourth medal in as many races and numbers in hand will have an abundant margin error over the competition.
Fourth medal that could also be won by Johannes Boe and Fillon Maillet, absolute protagonists in the first races of Beijing 2022. The score of the challenge between the two champions is tied, with the French winner of the 20 km and the Norwegian gold in the Sprint, where however, he has accumulated a good margin in view of the Pursuit. The advantage at the start will in fact be 26 ”and could increase during the first lap. Behind them will be Tarjei Boe (+39 ") and Tsvetkov (+41"), with the Swedes Samuelsson and Ponsiluoma just behind and ready to recover.
More complicated conditions are expected than in the last two days, with increasing wind and sleet. The more complicated polygon could therefore leave room for comebacks from afar. The Azzurri will certainly try. First of all Lisa Vittozzi, 35th at 2'25 ", with the goal of qualifying for Mass, as well as Samuela Comola 57a at 2'46". Same goal for men for Hofer (14th at 1’19 "), Bormolini (23rd at 1’44") and Windisch (30th at 1’51 "). Federica Sanfilippo and Tommaso Giacomel did not qualify for the Pursuit.
