At 11:30 the start of the third women's Sprint of the 2020/21 World Cup. The leader of the general classification Hanna Oeberg will try to drop the trio and hit the third consecutive victory in the format after the double success of Kontiolahti. Low bibs for the blue, expected to make a qualitative leap.

The Italian technical staff made a very specific strategic choice, placing both Dorothea Wierer (bib 9) and Lisa Vittozzi (22) in the first group. We are waiting to see the Italian team in action, from which we expect improvements in condition, as well as results, compared to what was shown in Finland. In the team at the start in Hochfilzen it is worth noting the seasonal debut of Michela Carrara who will replace Nicole Gontier. Irene Lardschneider and Federica Sanfilippo will also be at the start for Italy.

Here the IBU Live Timing!
Instead, the favorites for the victory will have higher bibs. The sisters Oeberg and Herrmann chose the second group while the Norwegians placed themselves between the third and fourth, with Eckhoff (winner of the Pursuit of Kontiolahti) who will have the 85. It promises to be a very long race that could hold some surprises.
He does not want surprises but confirms what Hanna Oeberg has done so far, who is hunting for the third consecutive success in the format. However, it will not be easy to confirm herself for the Swede. The superiority shown in the two Kontiolahti Sprints has already shown some cracks in the Pursuit on Sunday. So pay attention to the Norwegian couple Roeiseland-Eckhoff, but also to Denise Herrmann, who could change pace in Hochfilzen.
