LIVE from Hochfilzen: the fourth female Sprint of the season is starting, three blue in the race

At 2.15 pm the start of the fourth women's Sprint of the 2020/21 World Cup, the second in the Tyrolean town. For Italy there will be Lisa Vittozzi, Dorothea Wierer and Irene Lardschneider, while Sanfilippo and Carrara will be absent.

The two big blue will go in search of the podium and confirmations after the good performances put in place last week. To do so, they chose to start in the second group, like all the other big names, and will have numbers 30 and 34 respectively. For Italy, Irene Lardschneider confirms, who will try to repay the trust of the coaching staff. The dream is to get into the points. Here the complete Start list! Here the IBU Live timing! In a race where shooting percentages will make the difference, the favorite on the eve is the Norwegian Marte Roeiseland, who is looking for the second consecutive victory after the success obtained in the pursuit on Sunday. However, there is no shortage of opponents, starting with Dzinara Alimbekava, fresh from victory in the Sprint last week, closely followed by an excellent second place in the Pursuit. The shooting confidence shown by the Belarusian was incredible and at this start of the season she has not yet made a false step. Instead, Hanna Oeberg will leave with a knife between her teeth, eager for redemption and to take back the yellow bib as leader of the general.
