With a couple of mistakes, the reigning world champion of the format still earned points on her direct rivals for the crystal ball, even if ... "my race was conditioned by the mistake made on the first pitch - the comment della finanziera a phisi.org - Maybe I started the shot too quickly, it can happen. I recovered in the following polygons, unfortunately another mistake in the final series cost me the podium.
I tried to start strong and during the laps I kept a good consistency on the skis. The general classification (where you always sail in 4th place, ed)? Roeiseland, Eckhoff and Oeberg have been the protagonists of the cup so far, they will easily discard this race without being affected. This year winning the World Cup has become very difficult, it seems to me that they are a step above me in terms of performance and results, but the fact remains that I will give my best in every race. We will do the accounts in the end ".
Positive day also for Lisa Vittozzi, eleventh with three errors at the shooting range. "I thought it was a difficult race because I didn't feel great before the start, but on the skis I made a convincing performance - says sappadina - I'm paying close attention to shooting, maybe I could make one less mistake, but I'm leveling up step by step step. I will try to grow further in the mass start on Saturday ”.
