Numbers in hand, the undisputed favorite for the Olympic title in the women's pursuit is her: Mars Roeiseland. He dominates on skis, gives little or nothing to the shooting range and is in an idyllic psychophysical state. The advantage will be over an error (+31 ”) on Elvira Oeberg, the first of the pursuers. In her career, the Norwegian boasts seven successes in the format, but five of them have come in the last six races held between the end of last season and the beginning of this one.
It would seem that only she can lose this race, but the wind and snow conditions could be more treacherous than in recent days. The goal remains that of the fourth medal out of four races in Beijing 2022 and to equal Laura Dahlmeier, who achieved the Sprint-Pursuit double at Pyeongchang 2018.
Here the IBU live timing!
Here is the starting list!
Dorothea Wierer, after the fantastic bronze in the Sprint, is playing another chance for a medal in the format that gave her the world title in Anterselva 2020. That is the last podium of the blue in a Pursuit. He will start with 37 ”from Roeiseland but with Oeberg in his sights. However, he will have to watch his back from Hauser (+47 "), Tandrevold (+ 1’00") and Reztsova (+ 1’05 "). Eckhoff, 11a at 1’16 ", Alimbekava, Hanna Oeberg and Herrmann will also try to recover, who instead pay over a minute and a half from the head. For Italy there will also be Lisa Vittozzi, 35th at 2’25 ", with the goal of qualifying for Mass (very difficult) and Samuela Comola 57a at 2’46". Federica Sanfilippo did not qualify.
