It starts at 08:00 Italian time with the departure in the women's line, one day earlier than the original program. Then at 10:00 it will be the men’s turn for the last match in Beijing 2022: three blues in the race, with Dorothea Wierer chasing the second individual medal.

After the fantastic bronze in the Sprint and the dream of an encore vanished at the last polygon of the Pursuit, tomorrow Doro will go hunting for another medal. Fresh from the success in Anterselva, the world champion of Oestersund 2019 and silver in Anterselva will try to do battle.
Marte Roeiseland, the one who took the gold right in front of Wierer in Anterselva 2020. The Norwegian is in a state of heavenly form and has the goal of poker titles, after those won in the Mixed Relay, Sprint and Pursuit. A success would lead it to equal Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, who in Salt Lake City 2002 wore four gold medals around his neck.
Here the IBU live timing!
Here is the starting list!
At the end of two very intense and very expensive weeks, it will be necessary to understand how much fuel is left in the tank of the athletes, who will once again face polar temperatures. Roeiseland's main opponent on paper should be Elvira Oeberg, already a star with the relay gold and two individual silvers. The young Swede already boasts a career success in the format, where the Norwegian has triumphed twice. Attention also to Hanna Oeberg, who starts as an outsider, as well as Tiril Eckhoff, recovering from a bad performance in the relay after the bronze for the Pursuit. On the other hand, the one who could enrich her Olympics even more is Denise Herrmann, winner of the Individual and ready to storm the podium.
