At home in Italy there is curiosity to see Linda Zingerle at work, making her debut in the top circuit after an excellent start to the season in the Ibu Cup, where she also scored a victory. The 2002 class of Anterselva takes the place of Fauner, who took part in the stage of Hochfilzen. Season debut for Federica Sanfilippo, who has only one leg of the Italian Cup in her legs. Lisa Vittozzi, seventh last week in Austria, and Wierer will try to put an end to the fast of blue podiums. Sappadina has chosen the first group but will start with a rather high number, 36. Same fate for Dorothea, inserted in the second group and at the start with 60.
Here the IBU Live Timing!
Here is the starting list!
Roeiseland will be at the start with the yellow bib as leader of the general. The Norwegian boasts two third places this season in the format. Two podiums also for Hanna Sola, third in Oestersund 2 and winner in Hochfilzen, where she conquered the primacy of the specialty ranking. The fight for the podium is more open than ever, with the French ready to do battle on their home snow, Eckhoff in slow recovery, Hauser, Alimbekava and the Oeberg sisters. Hanna won in Sweden but struggled to shoot in Hochfilzen. Who knows it might not be the right time for Elvira's first victory in the CdM. In the last Sprint disputed in the French town, Eckhoff won ahead of Braisaz and Davidova. Among the active winners there is also Selina Gasparin, who won in 2013 and will be at the start with bib 48.
