Biathlon: the women's relay is from Sweden, Italy thirteenth without Wierer

In Hochfilzen a show was staged not up to the level of previous releases in a relay that was snubbed by many of the protagonists but not by Sweden. Well the blues in young training.

The launch fraction is once again a showcase for Lisa Vittozzi, perfect and fast in the two polygons, who closes less than a second behind the Swedish Persson (0 + 0); at the first change at 13 seconds the Polish Hojnisz (0 + 0) who precedes the Swiss Cadurisch (0 + 0). France, with Anais Bescond (0 + 3) already pays 37.4 with the Russian Vasnetcova (0 + 2), the Czech Jislova (0 + 3) and the Norwegian Tandrevold (0 + 4). The Swedish Magnusson takes command of operations in the second stage but two reloads in the standing range allow Anais Chevalier to overtake (0 + 1). Samuela Comola also uses two refills standing up, keeping Italy in the top 10 positions. Halfway through the race, France (0 + 4) shows a 7.7 advantage over Magnusson (0 + 2) and 8.1 over Hauser (0 + 1). Estonians (0 + 2) is fourth at 22.8, Haecki (0 + 3) at 39.5, Russian Mironova (0 + 3) is sixth at 40.5. Samuela Comola (0 + 2) is tenth at 55.5 and precedes the Norwegian Knotten (0 + 3) by three seconds. Elvira Oeberg (0 + 2) makes a void in the third fraction and the Austrian Schwaiger (0 + 1) and Chloe Chevalier (0 + 4) resist in the supporting positions. Sweden is first at the last change with 1.30.9 on Austria, 1.33.5 on Nigmatullina (0 + 3) and France (0 + 8). Fauner (0 + 5) is twelfth at almost three minutes and continues to precede Norway where Kalkenberg (1 + 5) sinks. Hanna Oeberg just has to manage the situation despite an amnesia at the last polygon that leads her to turn (1 + 4) while in the last stage Justine Braisaz (0 + 6) takes France on the podium, behind the Russian Reztsova (0 + 2), after fighting with Franziska Preuss (0 + 1). Sweden (1 + 8) is first on the finish line with 29.1 over Russia (0 + 10) and 59.3 over France (0 + 14). Fourth place for Germany (1 + 10) at 1.06.5, fifth for Ukraine (0 + 13) at 1.33.0 and sixth for Ausrtia (0 + 5) at the photo finish on Norway (1 + 13). Italy (0 + 11) is thirteenth.
