Five athletes start with the favors of the prediction to win one of the three medals up for grabs. Among them there is undoubtedly Dorothea Wierer, world champion outgoing in the format and hunting for a hat-trick in the Anterselva world championship that would be historic for Italian sport.
Norwegians Mars Roeiseland and Tiril Eckhoff will also fight for the podium. The first has already put six medals around his neck, including four gold and is back from an excellent performance in the relay. The second appeared instead slightly undertone and seems to have lost the magic touch to the polygon. In season, however, it boasts a first and second place in the format.
To win a medal you will also have to deal with Denise Herrmann and Hanna Oeberg. The German, after the silver in the Pursuit and the faded gold at the last shot in the Individual, aims at the big target, to conquer the first title of the review for Germany. Oeberg instead starts with the poisoned tooth, so far has collected three quarters and a fifth place and the medal now seems to have become a taboo.
For Italy there will also be Lisa Vittozzi, who presents herself as a luxury outsider. The sappadina recorded the second fastest time in the relay and comes from the second place obtained in the Pokljuka Mass, in the last stage of the World Cup. A medal would completely unfold its world championship and its season, which could still give her so much from here to the end.

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.
