At 11:00 the start of the first female Sprint of the season. Tiril Eckhoff starts with the underdogs and wants to keep the streak of consecutive victories open in the format and take back the bib as the leader of the general classification, currently on the shoulders of the Czech, winner of the Individual.

The technical favorite of the race is precisely the Norwegian, and it could not be otherwise given the seven consecutive victories in the specialty, obtained last season between Hochfilzen and Oestersund. To find another winner you have to go back to last December, when Dzinara Alimbekava won in the first Hochfilzen Sprint.
Here the IBU Live Timing!
Here is the starting list!
But the result is far from obvious, given that the girls are returning from a demanding 15 km, which at the beginning of the season could have left waste in the muscles, difficult to dispose of in less than 24 hours. There will also be opponents, starting with Mars Roeiseland. Alimbekava herself, as well as Davidova, Herrmann and Hauser, yesterday on the podium, will have their say. Instead, hosts Hanna and Elvira Oeberg will have to adjust the percentages to aim for a good position.
The blue players are also expected, in particular Lisa Vittozzi, fresh from 13th place in the Individual and Dorothea Wierer, who wants to redeem herself immediately after an inaugural test with some mistakes and a lot of bad luck. There will also be Michela Carrara, Rebecca Passler and Samuela Comola.
