After the 5th place in Beijing 2022, Italy presents itself at the start of the women's relay of Kontiolahti with a new and experimental formation: Lisa Vittozzi will be in the last fraction, with Samuela Comola at the launch and the couple Wierer-Sanfilippo in the central part of the race . The goal is to enter the top five for the third consecutive time and obviously to test the girls in competition patterns that are not usual for them. In light of the many and qualified absences, the result seems within reach, but three nations start a step above the blue.
Here the IBU live timing!
Here is the starting list!
Sweden's number one favorite is Olympic champion. The Scandinavians will not have Mona Brorsson, in her place Magnusson. Staying in Scandinavia, the Norwegian side, here is the return of Tandrevold, who will be involved in the closing of the relay, with Roeiseland instead lined up at the launch. For the victory and for the podium there will also be France, with the same team that finished in 6th place, disappointing, at the Olympic Games. The absences of Russia, Olympic silver and in the open streak of four consecutive podiums, and Belarus, on the podium in the first relay of the season in Oestersund, weigh heavily. Attention also to Germany, which shows up at the starting line with the same quartet that won bronze in Beijing.
