The race will be opened by Dorothea Wierer, who will wear the yellow-red bib, as leader of the overall World Cup standings and winner of the last specialty crystal ball. And from an overall perspective, the Hochfilzen pursuit could give the Italian an opportunity to increase the advantage over the direct rivals in the Cup race. Close to Wierer will start Tandrevold (+6 "), which could reach it during the first round but will then be tested on the four polygons. Then it will be the turn of Svetlana Mironova (+18 "), author of an excellent fraction in relay and of Paulina Fialkova (+22"), struggling with knee problems. Within 30 seconds Hanna Oeberg and Lucie Charvatova will also start, ahead of the Norwegian couple Roeisenland-Eckhoff. The two Scandinavians will have 32 "and 34" to be recovered at the blue, but they are undoubtedly the most formidable opponents from a victory point of view. Lisa Vittozzi will also be called to comeback, which will start at 1â€™01 â€with bib number 23. Shortly afterwards it will be the turn of Nicole Gontier, in a clear recovery after the disappointment suffered in the relay in Oestersund. Finally, the last Italian will be Federica Sanfilippo, whose goal will be to enter the points. Click here for the complete start list. Click here for IBU Live timing.
