After three races, Dorothea Wierer, winner of the format in Oestersund and Hochfilzen, leads the specialty classification with 22 points on Svetlana Mironova and 31 on Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold.
The blue, as well as the other big names, has opted for the first group but has caught a rather high number and will start with the 24. The athlete to beat will be Tiril Eckhoff, at the start with the 13, back from four consecutive victories and second in the general classification 17 points behind Wierer.
As for the other favorites, Mironova will be the first to take to the track, Davidova will have the bib number 12, Vittozzi on the 15th, Roeiseland on the 16th, Oeberg on the 21st and will precede Denise Herrmann 22. The Norwegian Tandrevold will have the 37th instead.
