Italy for the Individual has chosen Lukas Hofer (35), inserted in the first group but with high bib, Dominik Windisch (39), Thomas Bormolini (67) and Didier Bionaz (79), with the Aosta Valley preferred to Tommaso Giacomel, which the Sprint will do instead. Didier is perhaps the most specialist of the blue quartet in the format that will assign the medals tomorrow, in what will also be a testing ground to play for a place in the relay, where three bibs seem to have already been assigned.
The Azzurri will therefore be outsiders, in a race that promises to be very interesting. With 2, Johannes Thingnes Boe, called to defend the title won in Pyeongchang 2018, at the opening of the race. A reconfirmation would represent an epic undertaking, as in the Olympic history only the Norwegian Solberg was able to perform the back to back in the mother specialty of biathlon.
But there will be no lack of opponents, starting with his brother Tarjei (5) and Quentin Fillon Maillet (11). Christiansen (23), Jacquelin (26), Smolski (28), Loginov (31) and Samuelsson (33) also chose the first group. The race promises to be very long, with Latypov (47), Fabien Claude (48) and Laegreid (53), all in the second group, and with Finnish Tero Seppala (92), who will be the last to start.
