In a particularly windy day'' s blue has always brought him the dances coming to have even a minute advantage on the'' nearest pursuer and has established itself in spite of 7 shooting errors by a margin of 19 "2 of Anna Weidl.
The German has in turn confirmed the performance of the sprint then getting the second silver medal of the event''. The eighteen year old Bavarian, 6 missed targets as a whole, could annoy the Italian'' in case he made a mistake in the least, but in reality it was at best a goad to the leader.
As in the sprint bronze medal went to France, but not to Julia Simon (sunk in sixteenth place), but Estelle Mougel that started with bib number 5, has harpooned the podium in front of compatriot Arnaud thanks to Lena precision, today for the truth somewhat relative concept. L'' Estonia Tuuli Tomingas has recovered to fifth place, while the'' good test should be highlighted in the Slovenian Urska Poje, ninth with a differential of +14 compared to the starting position, class 1997.
In this regard, it is good to reflect. As mentioned Vittozzi was undoubtedly one of the favorites of the vigil and took full advantage of the opportunity'', however, we must not forget that Anna is Weidl of 1996, then a year younger and mostly higher yesterday in the junior category best time skiing close was clocked by Justine Braisaz, in turn, class 1996. Lisa won two gold medals'' because he is a monster for his age, being much more mature than his 19 years, and also this makes a difference'' in the current category. '' The important thing is that these medals do not become a burden in its process of growth, still very long. Too often in Italy you tend to shout to the phenomenon, but then promptly talk about "disappointment" when the'' athlete in question has some step-load.
For this reason it is important to be patient and not expect results to cry even at the senior level in the short term. Vittozzi is undoubtedly a talent, but transfers from one category are generally more complicated and any compensatory measures would not be a surprise.
Returning to today's race at home Italy Carmen Runggaldier (2 +2 +1 +0) concluded twenty and Rachel Fanesi (0 +1 +1 +4) forty-eighth.
