At 10.00 Italian tomorrow (17.00 local time), Lisa Vittozzi, Dorothea Wierer, Thomas Bormolini and Lukas Hofer will be looking for what would be the third consecutive medal for the Azzurri in the format, an undertaking that is anything but simple considering also what we have seen in season.

"I'm happy and happy to start, now the final touches but I can't wait - the words of the Livigno to physi.org - I'm proud of the choice made by the technicians, the season is going well and I'll try to do what I did until now.
Everything is very complicated here, because there is cold, wind, slow snow. We will have to suffer ... ".
