After the splendid third place in the relay, Italy dreams of another podium in the women's Sprint of Kontiolahti, which sees the Norwegian Roeiseland favored over her Swedish rival. Dorothea Wierer is aiming for the third consecutive podium in the format, but for the Italian team there will also be the unknown Vittozzi, Sanfilippo and Comola.

The signal to Ruhpolding, then the seal to Beijing: Dorothea Wierer shows up at the start of the Kontiolahti Sprint with two consecutive third places in the format and aims for the trio, which could be within reach. In his career, the blue boasts a victory in the Finnish town (in an Individual), which gave her the second crystal ball. Who likes this competition context is undoubtedly Lisa Vittozzi, who here has won four of the thirteen podiums of her career. It remains to understand which version of the sappadina we will see today and if the excellent signals provided in the fourth leg of the relay will be confirmed. In the second part of the race we will instead see Sanfilippo and Comola and the dream is to have four Italians in the points.
Here the IBU Live Timing!
Here is the starting list!
Another duel is expected for the victory between Marte Roeiseland and Elvira Oeberg who shared the first two positions in the last two Sprints disputed, alternating on the top step of the podium. The calculation of the seasonal victories speaks of a 3 to 1 in favor of the Norwegian who, as seen in the relay, seems to have come out of the Olympic Games in better shape than her young rival. Among the big attention also to Tiril Eckhoff, in search of the first victory of the season in the format, to Hanna Oeberg and Hauser, who have already won this season and to the French Julia Simon.

Un anno fa vivevamo il dramma di Matteo Franzoso: a La Parva un incidente che mai sarebbe dovuto accadere
Era il 13 settembre 2025 quando, in quel maledetto sabato mattina in Cile, il velocista ligure finì a velocità elevatissima contro una staccionata, troppo vicina a bordo pista (e ora non più presente per gli allenamenti delle nazionali presenti anche quest'anno nella località). Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
