Simply legend. Of Italian sport at all levels, to end with the most beautiful joy a season that, for the winter disciplines in the blue house, gave a unique 2019/2020 vintage, with five absolute World Cups brought home (in addition to all the rest...).
After Roland Fischnaller, Federica Brignone, Michela Moioli and Simone Origone, here is Dorothea Wierer signing a legendary encore, 12 months after Oslo; a thrilling pursuit that of Kontiolahti, with Tiril Eckhoff collapsing on the final polygon and at the end will precede the blue star by one position, which takes the second consecutive crystal ball like no Italian athlete in the history of snow movement.
"We will win together", "It will be all right", wrote Doro on his rifle before this much-discussed stage in Finland, considering the decision of the IBU to race despite the dramatic situation related to the Coronavirus. "I was sure I couldn't do it - confessed Wierer in the immediate post race - with so many seconds to recover and for how I had fired in this race. Thinking about it, it's crazy, I still don't realize what happened. Yesterday was the most difficult day, I would have been happy to finish second ... but I gave everything because it was the last race and I had to try.
Considered how the summer had gone, I never thought that I could get gold at the World Cup and this second World Cup. It was tough to the end, head and body, but we did it. "
