Hofer and Vittozzi chasing the podium in the Single Mixed, but what a competition there ahead

At 3.15 pm the start of the mixed pairs relay that will conclude the penultimate stage of the World Cup in Otepää. Italy tries to return to the podium in this format after three years but several couples start with podium credentials.

Despite the absence of Russia, who won the only previous season in Oberhof with the Babikov-Reztsova duo, and of Ukraine, which was third on the occasion, the starting field is remarkable. In fact, six nations start with the aim of getting on the podium, including Italy with the usual Hofer and Lisa Vittozzi, with Wierer left to rest. Azzurri who have not been on the podium since March 2019, when the Hofer-Wierer duo was silver at the world championships in Oestersund. Here the IBU live timing! Here is the starting list! For a place on the podium there will also be the Austrian specialists Eder-Hauser, second in January in Oberhof. Attention also to the Sweden of Samuelsson and H. Oeberg and to the Norway of Laegreid and Roeiseland, which is looking for a success that is missing from the world championships in Anterselva. Germany is also very competitive with Lesser and Preuss, but we must pay attention to the French couple made up of Guigonnat and A. Chevalier.
