The Norwegian aims to confirm herself on the levels of excellence of 2020/21 but in today's race the opponents will not be lacking. The individual is also the most difficult format for her, in which she boasts only one career victory. It promises to be a tight race right from the start, with almost all the main favorites placed between the first and second groups. They range from bib 3 of Eckhoff herself to 37 of the reigning world champion Marketa Davidova. Here the IBU Live Timing! Here is the starting list! At home in Italy, Lisa Vittozzi (16) seems to be the fittest athlete, especially after what she did in the pre-season tests in Sweden. But pay attention to Dorothea Wierer (15), holder of the specialty crystal ball together with Lisa Theresa Hauser (18), and above all winner of the opening races of the last two seasons. In fact, the blue won the Oestersund Sprint in 2019 and won the opening Individual at Kontiolahti last year. Italy will also be able to count on Michela Carrara, currently number three in the movement, and on newcomers Rebecca Passler and Samuela Comola. For both the goal is to accumulate experience in the maximum circuit. The two blue will be protagonists in the second part of the race together with other interesting young people and Stina Nilsson (112). Three active athletes have a success in an Individual in Oestersund: the French Justine Braisaz, Hanna Oeberg, who in 2019 won the world title and Dorothea Wierer, winner in 2015.
