In Oestersund, in the opening race of the season, Marketa Davidova won ahead of Lisa Hauser and Denise Herrmann, who won't be there today. The Czech is in an open streak of two consecutive victories in the format, having also won at the Pokljuka World Championships last year. In the race for the crystal ball of the Individual, pay attention also to Dzinara Alimbekava, who closed fourth in Sweden and could blow the bank. Cup that will be awarded today, since there will be no more 15 km of the World Cup (the Olympic race in Beijing does not award points) until the end of the season. Last year in Anterselva, Hauser won, with Dzhima second and Anais Chevalier third. Today the Ukrainian, a great specialist in the format, starts as an outsider, while the French is another of the many big absentees. In fact, there will not even be Mars Roeiseland and Sweden “A” of the Oeberg sisters, in addition to the Russian Reztsova. Dorothea Wierer returns to her home snow, where she graduated as world champion two years ago. In light of the starting field, an excellent result from Alto Adige is expected at the start with bib 16. First group also for Lisa Vittozzi (8), while Federica Sanfilippo (48), Samuela Comola (79) and Michela Carrara (88).
