Oeberg, with the clear success in the Sprint, has a 22 "margin on the Norwegian and 30" on the couple Dorothea Wierer-Dzinara Alimbekava. At 40 "here is Braisaz, who precedes Hauser (+42") and Bescond (+48 "), while Mironova and the Swedish trio Persson, Brorsson and Hanna Oeberg are all less than a minute away and see the podium not far away. Great comebacks do not seem possible from behind, but the Russian Reztsova (+ 1'21 "), Julia Simon (+ 1'23") and Hanna Sola (1'44 ") could try, who after struggling in the Sprint did not seem at best not even in Relay. For Italy, in addition to Wierer, there will also be Federica Sanfilippo, 33rd with 1’41 "from the head. Here the IBU live timing! Here is the starting list! The two outriders Roeiseland and Oeberg are the only winners this season in the format. The scoreboard speaks of a clear 3 to 1 for the Norwegian, who has won four of the last five pursuits and is hunting for the 15th pearl of her career, the first in Ruhpolding. For Elvira, a success would mean slightly shortening the distances in the race for the crystal ball. The last precedent on these snows, in 2020, saw Eckhoff triumph (absent today) ahead of Paulina Fialkova and Hanna Oeberg. In addition to the Swede, only Wierer among the 60 starters boasts a podium, obtained in 2016.
