Here the complete Start List.
Here the Ibu Live Timing.
Fresh from victory on Swedish soil and from an excellent team race in the Sprint in Hochfilzen, Norway presents itself at the start with a solid and balanced quartet. In the first part we will see the young Knotten and then Tandrevold, Eckhoff and Røiseland. However, the prediction is not at all obvious, since a dozen countries have what it takes to dream of the podium.
Among these certainly Italy, great disappointment of the first seasonal relay, closed in 12th place, and in search of redemption, precisely in Hochfilzen, where on 16 December last year came a historic victory. As usual, the technicians have decided to deploy Vittozzi in the first fraction, which will be followed by Wierer, Gontier and Sanfilippo in closing.
As said the fight for the podium will affect several nations, but in particular Russia will be kept an eye on, galvanized by the podium of Mironova, who will be accompanied by Reztsova, Kuklina and Yurlova-Percht and Sweden, competing with Persson, Brorsson and the sisters Elvira and Hanna Oeberg. Among others, France, Switzerland, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Germany will also be able to have their say, albeit back from the worst team result in history.
The start of the race will be at 11:30, while in the afternoon the Men's Pursuit is scheduled.

In Val Pusteria sono andate in scena due giornate della versione estiva dello sci di fondo, con Marco Pinzani e Federica Cassol che hanno tronfato nella sprint del sabato sull'asfalto di Anterselva. A Dobbiaco, invece, le 10 km in alternato hanno regalato il successo a Davide Graz e Maria Gismondi, all'interno della cornice della Nordic Arena per quella che è stata la prima tappa della Coppa Italia invernale.
