Beijing 2022: Belarus defends the title in the women's relay, Italy goes all in in the first two fractions

At 08:45 the start of the Beijing 2022 women's relay. As for the men's race, extreme weather conditions and a very uncertain fight for medals are expected, with five contenders and a few outsiders. Italy tries, fielding their aces in the first part of the race.

In pole position, however, France and Sweden start, which present themselves at the start with two super quartets and a slight margin over Russia, Norway and Belarus. The transalpines field a very balanced but unprecedented formation for the current season and for three quarters back from the bronze medal of Pyeongchang 2018. Four years ago the gold went to Domracheva's Belarus ahead of Sweden, with the French on the lowest step of the podium. In Korea, Olympic champions Leshchanka and Alimbekava graduated, who will try to confirm themselves at the top. Sweden will also have three quarters of the formation of the last Olympic Games, with the inclusion of a ninety caliber: Elvira Oeberg. Here the IBU live timing! Here is the starting list! Russia will also try to win a medal, which after the 2006 and 2010 titles and the silver in Sochi 2014 missed the podium in the last Olympic Games. Relay that has never been won by Norway, probably the favorite until two days ago, before Tandrevold's forfeit. The norge will still be able to count on Eckhoff and a super Roeiseland, but at launch there will be the unknown Knotten. Italy will aim to improve the result of Pyeongchang, when it was 10a. He starts as an outsider with Vittozzi and Wierer in the first two stages and is ready to seize the opportunity in case of others' missteps.
