The wait is about to end, Thursday will start with the single mixed the world championship of blue dreams, the one in the home of the Italian biathlon, Anterselva. Last training between ski session and polygon, then the Italian national team gathered at the press center of the stadium in the South Tyrolean resort for the pre-World conference. A serene climate and the "landlady" Dorothea Wierer who has catalyzed most of the attention of the public and the media, even if there will be some media chances, beyond the champion in charge of the mass and in full swing for the encore in the World Cup. "I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to experience a World Cup at home - said" Doro "- Of course there is greater pressure and attention, but I will try to enjoy this event and get the maximum results. The weather? It may affect, this is certainly not an easy polygon and even the track gives little breath. We'll see". The other most awaited woman is certainly Lisa Vittozzi, who in recent days had sparked an uproar with the statement regarding what happened at the World Championship in Oestersund with the failure of Wierer to participate in the relay. Past water, at least to live these ten days to the fullest and play all in a fundamental competition for the sappadina, out of the games for the crystal ball: â€œI didn't have the first part of the season that I wanted, but now let's just think about this World Championships to which I arrive well - Lisa's words - I don't have a favorite race, I think I can do well in every format ". Dominik Windisch is the other "enfant du pay", born on the slopes of Anterselva as Lukas Hofer. For the mass world champion, â€œit's already great to compete here every year, let alone for a World Cup. The classic dream come true, after leading the way in 2007. How am I? The fall of Oberhof left me with problems in my ribs and took away my peace and energy, but for two weeks I've been better and I've worked well, I feel ready to do the best here. " For Hofer, "sickly" in recent weeks, "it is essential to be healthy in terms of health, otherwise at this level it is difficult to fight for the top positions. We will give our best, that's for sure â€. The director Fabrizio Curtaz has not revealed the formation for the inaugural single mixed, although he has clearly indicated that the blue pair will be the one composed by Wierer and Hofer, as expected: "We still wait based on the conditions of the boys," he said the deus ex machina of the blue biathlon before launching towards the world debut Michela Carrara and Daniele Cappellari, at the first experience at these levels. And then Federica Sanfilippo, who defines "a fortune to play such an event at home and, although it was a difficult season for me until December, I have now found the confidence to play a good World Cup", and Thomas Bormolini who speaks of the "ups and downs we have had so far, with the desire to be competitive until the end of the World to make this season special". Yes, the World of blue dreams can really begin.
