In the Eurosport study with Dario Puppo and Massimiliano Ambesi, the winner of the last two World Cups talks about herself. "The anti Covid rules in Finland? I don't agree with the choice made for the Swedish skiers, but it will be the same for us too".

Serena, although aware that repeating will be increasingly difficult and the batch of rivals even more fierce.
Dorothea Wierer illuminated the sixth episode of Poligono 360, Eurosport's in-depth study dedicated to winter disciplines; the winner of the last two World Cups, as well as the wonderful world one-two in Anterselva, spoke about the new season at the start next weekend in Kontiolahti.
With Dario Puppo and Massimiliano Ambesi, the South Tyrolean champion also analyzed all the difficulties related to the current situation, starting with the logistics that will change, starting from the first trip to the upcoming double Finnish stage. “Tomorrow morning (today, editor's note) we will have the swab and, after receiving the results within 24 hours, on Wednesday the departure which will then take us, from the arrival in Helsinki, to face more than 5 hours by bus. It will not be easy to dispose of the journey, also because the racing program is immediately intense with a tough test like the individual followed immediately by the sprint.
We will have to adapt, but let's consider ourselves lucky to be able to compete ":
"Doro" how he really feels a few days after the start: "Everything went very well until the end of August, then from September I suffered the various commitments that bring you above all a mental tiredness. That's why I skipped the Oberhof meeting (at the end of October, ed) to recover. Certainly I miss the comparison, I need the competition to warm up to the best and I don't feel in great shape, but it will only be seen with the races ”.
Little has changed on a technical level ("you always find something to work on shooting, but in the competition the reactions are different. Fortunately, I feel good with my back and, in the most difficult days, I have learned to live with pain"), while the Covid issue can change the dynamics of this season. “What do I think of what happened to Levi with the Swedish national ski team? I don't think it's fair to punish an entire team, but we know the host country rules apply and I understand that. It will be the same for us, again in Finland, and we will have to get used to living together and accepting it for the whole season ”.
The rivals for the assault on the third World Cup? "I think Roeiseland and Herrmann are the most in form, Oeberg herself with her shot, but we will see in these days - Wierer's analysis - I think it was a smart solution to avoid the Chinese away game, reviewing the cup final calendar , also because it would have started immediately after the Pokljuka World Cup. I don't consider myself the favorite, the feeling in this sense is not so good even if the season is long and many things can change ”.
