An interview in which he did not send them to say, returning to an episode which was then decisive in the internal struggle for the conquest of the first, historic biathlon World Cup in Italy.
On the occasion of the 25-year-old milestone, Lisa Vittozzi spoke to the "Messaggero Veneto" and her words have already gone around the world, given that sappadina has brought up the technical staff and Dorothea Wierer herself.
A real bomb a week after the start of the world championships in Anterselva, in which Lisa aims "at least two medals", after having found herself in the two Pokljuka races with the 4th place in the individual and the 2nd in the mass start. "Yes, if I went back I wouldn't run the Oestersund relay," Vittozzi said clearly, remembering what happened in the 2019 World Cup in Sweden. Wierer skipped the appointment, officially for physical problems, while the individual's vice world champion ran and, 24 hours later, saw his teammate win the world title of the mass and launch towards the conquest of the crystal ball.
“I was playing the cup, the dream of a career, and I shouldn't have run that race too. Seeing the choice of Wierer, who jumped her to rest, I went crazy. It was no longer me and the last races of 2019 have changed me. "
Have you clarified everything with your rival partner? Macchè ... “We never talked about it, but the agreements were different to manage the commitments at the World Cup (and here there is a clear reference to the technical staff), given that the points were also valid for the Cup. I respected them. "
Lisa's season, at least until Pokljuka, was very difficult “because I made the serious mistake of starting the World Cup thinking of breaking everything and winning it, but something was wrong with me. In December I hit the bottom, without wanting to ski and shoot at the shooting range. Since Christmas, I have found myself at home and with the family. Dorothea? We are very different, but we respect each other and are rivals when we are not running for the national team. That's all".
In Anterselva there will be a lot of meat by the fire ...
