The real surprise of the seasonal opening in Oestersund bears the name of Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen, leader of the overall standings of the World Cup and winner of Sunday’s chase. The Norwegian in Hochfilzen is expected at the litmus test and will have to defend himself from the attacks of his opponents. First of all from Samuelsson, who heels him in the general with only three points behind and won both Sprints disputed in Sweden. The Norwegian will also try to defend the leader's bib from Johannes Boe, called to give an answer in what is one of his favorite hunting grounds. In Hochfilzen the holder of the crystal ball boasts 6 victories, 4 of which obtained in the test on the two polygons. A war machine.
Here the IBU live timing!
Here is the starting list!
At home in Italy there is great expectation to see Tommaso Giacomel on the track, who in the Oestersund Pursuit showed all his enormous potential by finishing 7th: best result ever for an athlete born in the new millennium. The competition context could be favorable for the 2000 class of the Fiamme Gialle, as well as for Lukas Hofer, who in Hochfilzen will try to take another step towards the top of physical fitness. Points area goal for Bormolini, positive in the first races in Sweden, Windisch and Bionaz, who after a good start in the Individual must also find the feeling in the Sprint.
