Italy in unprecedented formation for the Otepää Mixed Relay, Norway goes for the fifth consecutive victory

At 12:30 the start of the second and last mixed relay of the World Cup season, the third also counting that of Beijing 2022. The norge want to keep open the streak of consecutive victories that began over a year ago. The Azzurri are presented at the start with a remodeled but interesting formation.

With Wierer resting after the fatigue of the two individual races and the Hofer-Vittozzi couple engaged in the Single Mixed (starting at 3.15 pm), Italy lined up Bormolini and Giacomel in the two initial stages and then Comola and Sanfilippo. An unprecedented quartet, which is unlikely to be able to fight for the podium, but which can provide some indication for the future. This season Italy collected a seventh place in Oberhof and finished 9a in Beijing. Here the IBU live timing! Here is the starting list! Norway is the favorite, unbeaten in the Pokljuka 2021 World Cup. From that world title, an open streak of four consecutive successes between the CdM and the Olympic Games. In Beijing the norge won gold in front of France and Russia, while in the only previous season of the Cup Belarus 2nd took the podium, with the transalpines third. Today the French are aiming decisively for the podium, where there will also be an open fight with Sweden and Germany.
