Dorothea Wierer managed to take a beautiful third place in Ruhpolding, after an excellent shooting performance. The podium, which was missing from Nove Mesto last year, was consolidated by a good performance on skis. “I felt my legs spinning meter after meter, I started pushing immediately on the skis but I heard from the coaches that I was still a few seconds behind the opponents in front of me. So I further increased the intensity of skiing and I think I have made a last important lap ”, declared the biathlete from Brunico in her interview with the FISI.
The South Tyrolean champion had to recover from Alimbekava by more than four seconds in the final stages, and the result at the finish line can only be optimal. But what stands out most is the usual speed at the shooting range with those twenty seconds in the standing session and twenty-three in the session on the ground: "I am very satisfied with my shot today", added Wierer, demonstrating his confidence in shooting. found in recent weeks. Therefore, the Italian leader will start from third place in the pursuit on Sunday afternoon, with the attempt to try to win again in the World Cup, a result that has been missing since November 28, 2020 in Kontiolahti.
