The third seasonal meeting of the biathlon World Cup team is coming to an end, which for the last time works separately in two subgroups. One part made up of Dorothea Wierer, Didier Bionaz, Tommaso Giacomel, Lukas Hofer and Dominik Windisch (with technicians Andreas Zingerle and Andrea Zattoni) is engaged in the German town of Ruhpolding, another with Michela Carrara, Rebecca Passler, Lisa Vittozzi, Thomas Bormolini, Patrick Braunhofer and Daniele Cappellari (technicians Klaus Hoellrigl and Mirco Romanin) are present in Obertilliach, Austria.
The training, which began last June 28, will end on Friday 9 July and will close the first phase of the summer training, as confirmed by the technical director Fabrizio Curtaz. "Until now things have gone well - says the coach from Valle d'Aosta - The boys concentrated on the three collegiate competitions on basic technique, this year we decided to divide the same World Cup team into two groups," to further adapt to their needs, especially to work individually and with greater profit in shooting.
From here on we will get to the heart of the preparation, there is a need to have more and more confrontation at the shooting range, with the aim of creating a stimulating environment to raise the level of the many young people we are launching in the most important cup. In short, it is a question of working on consistency in quality - continues Curtaz - As for the four senators, their work is slightly different, they know their characteristics perfectly and therefore know what they must look for, the goal is to think with each series with quality, the differences are minimal at a high level.
By now, a missed target makes you go from a possible victory to a back-up position. So far the general condition is good, there have been some small hitches that can be easily foreseen in this phase and in any case already overcome. Compared to past years - concluded the technical director of the national team, speaking to physi.org - we started earlier than usual, we have also planned high altitude rallies to get closer to what we will find at the Olympics ”.
