The Norwegian, highly criticized for her absence in the last stage of 2019 to focus on the World Championships, in Anterselva won the Gold medal of the Sprint, the Mass Start and the three Relays and in Bronze of Pursuit and Individual. And in the 1p races held in 2020 he recovered 46 points to Dorothea Wierer. When there are still three stages and seven races left at the end of the season, the Italian is at the top of the general classification with 719 points and is the only one of the contenders to have to discard real points in light of his impressive roadmap that sees her always in points from 63 games as the last empty beat dates back to 29 November 2017 with the 52nd place in the Ostersund Individual which opened that season. At the moment Wierer's worst results in the season are a 22. and a 23. place for 37 points, so net of the two potential differences he is at 682. Mars Roeiseland which is fourth in the standings with 597 points discards two of the three absences of Le Grand Bornand so also in the net standings it presents with 597, 85 points to be recovered on Dorothea. Among them Hanna Oeberg and Tiril Eckhoff. The Swede proved to be in great shape at the World Championships with yesterday's Bronze and two fourth places that brought her 157 points reaching 613 and she also does not discard anything for two absences at the start. The unleashed Tiril Eckhoff in early January found the ghosts of the polygon and in Anterselva did not go beyond seventh place in the final Mass Start paying a lot in terms of points. The Norwegian, who in turn pays nothing for scraps, is now third with 607 points. For reasons of completeness and mathematical possibility, we also mention Denise Herrmann fifth with 571 points. Lordi Netti Dorothea Wierer 719 682 Hanna Oeberg 613 613 Tiril Eckhoff 607 607 Mars Roeiseland 597 597 Denise Herrmann 571 571 With 420 points still up for grabs, everything can still be at stake, even if the only one who could have inertia to undermine Dorothea Wierer seems to be Mars Roeiseland while the fight for second place is very open. Moving on to the Specialty Cups, after winning the Mass Start "cup" last season, Hanna Oeberg got her hands on Anterselva on the 15 km Cup where with a second, a fourth and a tenth place she collected 128 points and precedes Wierer (114) and Justine Braisaz who at 112 points like Denise Herrmann precedes her for the best placements. When there are still three races left, the Sprint World Cup rankings are a challenge for two of the great protagonists of the World Championships. Dorothea Wierer leads with 266 points against the 248 of Mars Roeiseland for which it would be the first cup of her career. Behind them Eckhoff at 195 and Herrmann and Oeberg at 194. With three wins out of four races held and two still on the calendar, Tiril Eckhoff appears to be the undisputed leader of the Pursuit and is in the lead with 201 points, also in pole position for the first crystal ball. To chase with 45 points behind Dorothea Wierer and Ingrid Tandrevold and 52 Paulina Fialkova. Wierer with 183 points after 4 tests is also in the lead in the Mass Start classification where he precedes by 24 points with two races to be played Kaisa Makarainen, 33 Tiril Eckhoff, 37 Oeberg and Roeiseland and 38 Bescond.
