We won't have to wait long to see Dorothea Wierer and Lisa Vittozzi in the race, both have chosen the first group, picked low bibs and will therefore be at the start with 6 and 8. It is difficult to make a prediction on the two blue stars, who shone in the Sprint last weekend, closed by both in the top 5, only to disappear in the Pursuit. If the problems highlighted in Sunday's shooting have been resolved, surely both can point to a weight result. Instead, Michela Carrara is aiming for the points area while Sanfilippo and Lardschneider will try to qualify for the Pursuit.
Here the complete Startlist!
Here the IBU Live Timing!
The Norwegian Tiril Eckhoff, who is experiencing her magical season, is aiming for victory, which would be the sixth consecutive in the format. The new queen of the women's sector, however, will have to contend with her compatriot Roeiseland, as well as with the blue, still on the hunt for the first winter win in a Sprint. But also pay attention to Denise Hermmann, who hit a shot in the Pursuit last weekend, finishing second behind Eckhoff. The German will open the race and could have her say for a place on the podium.

Scheib rientra in Europa dopo 29 giorni tra Argentina e Cile: Un lavoro molto buono. Sarà lei la favorita a Soelden
La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
