At 15:00 the start of the fourth relay of the season, the last before the Olympic review. Latest training experiments ahead of Beijing, but not in the Azzurri home. The transalpine are aiming for the second consecutive success but the opponents are different and highly rated.

Italy has the same line-up that closed in sixth place last week in Ruhpolding. Vittozzi will in fact be engaged in the first fraction: we will see if the sappadina will be Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde, or the excellent athlete seen up to now in the relays and who last week was able to keep pace with a certain Mars Roeiseland or the athlete in difficulty and bewildered than yesterday's Individual. Following will be Wierer, Comola and Sanfilippo. The goal, in light of the starting field, with some leading nations lining up second or third lines, could be the confirmation of a placement close to, or even inside, the top 5.
Here the IBU Live Timing!
Here is the starting list!
Last week in Ruhpolding France won ahead of Sweden “B” and Russia. The transalpines boast two victories and three podiums of the season in as many races and are aiming for another success, even if they will have to do without Anais Chevalier and Julia Simon. Sweden have a heavily rearranged line-up and shouldn't have a chance for a podium, as do Germany. Attention instead to Russia, which finds Kristina Reztsova, to Belarus and above all to Norway, which compared to the German stage will have the trio Tandrevold, Eckhoff and Lien available, while there will be no Roeiseland.
