Regret but also the realization that the blue team biathlon c'' is and can fight for ambitious goals. These are the feelings of Fabrizio Curtaz, the technical director of the Italian after the biathlon mixed relay today which saw the Blues finish in fourth place. "It burns a little'' the chin to the podium that you could take" - said the same Curtaz to the official website of the FIS - "but this is the relay and you should not complain. We Russia and Germany behind us and for us This fourth place is worth a podium.'m at least 10 nations that can deploy two males and two females well and good play for the first places in the medley relay. We start with a fourth place and we are very satisfied. "Beyond the podium touched, but ,, one can not but be satisfied with what is put on display in Ostersund the Italian national team: "It'''' a good start for Italy, because we fought until the last'' with the nations best and today the conditions were not easy, especially in the standing shooting'' s last fraction: c'' was really windy and it was difficult to go to target. " Finally, a consideration at the individual level on athletics: "As for the individual, Hofer has done what he had, and Oberhofer Wierer have started from where they stopped last year.'' I would say that the Italian c'' is." Words honey for Dominik Windisch, now weak link in the relay, especially the lackluster shooting: "'' It is obvious that those who have the moral two laps under the heels, but do not dramatize: the relay is there. Overall, we need to evaluate the test team and is very good. "
