Reigning biathlon World Cup champion Tiril Eckhoff has decided to leave Ruhpolding to prepare in advance for the assault on the Beijing Olympics.
The Norwegian will reach the 1800 meters of Lavazè, where some of her compatriots are already training. The current Eckhoff is a distant relative of last year's and the hopes to confirm the title are now gone: “For me it is no longer possible to win the general classification. I'm happy with my performance, with my form, but now we have to think about Beijing. I just want us to find the best Tiril in China, ”he told“ VG ”.
The 19th place obtained yesterday in the sprint is the demonstration of a non-optimal condition, to be found again in the short term. Eckhoff will therefore spend the next six days in Lavazè and then present himself again in the World Cup in Anterselva and close the training cycle. It should be noted that Eckhoff is chasing the triple crown, missing only the individual Olympic gold medal, having already won a total of five. An objective that, if it were achieved (like Dorothea Wierer), would put her on a very short list of only five athletes.
