ATTUALITA''A holding court are mostly two stories. The first concerns Darya Domracheva that unless unexpected's Last time, will make his comeback in the World Cup to 654 days after his last appearance.
The thirty year old Belarusian, became a mother at the beginning of October, it will return just in a stage marked by several absences.
Of all that, partial, laura dahlmeier. The overall leader decided to desert the sprint and the 'pursuit to recover better after the efforts of December and jump towards a long sprint that will take her up to the World Cup.
So the pursuers will have the 'opportunity to mend the breach nell''ordine of 100 points from the yellow bib.
But they will be other athletes of the first order. Certain the 'absence of three other girls included in the top thirty positions of the absolute ranking: Franziska Preuss (12 ^), Tiril Eckhoff (16th) and Anna Magnusson (25 ^), to which may be added those of Emma Nilsson (36 ^), Anastasiya Kuzmina (42 ^), Hanna Öberg (43 ^) and Denise Herrmann (44th).
Therefore, in the context of the smaller competition than usual, it will be a wonderful opportunity for the Italian to climb positions and try to qualify for the mass start on Sunday.
HISTORY Oberhof has made an appearance in the women's calendar since the 1990 season - '' 91 finding room for winters alternate until the end of the twentieth century. With the 'arrival of the third millennium the' system of Thuringia has instead become a classic, finding placement fixed as the first stop of January (except for 2003 - '' 04, when he competed in February to host the World Cup).
It should be recalled that in the course of time has had to suffer two cancellations due to poor snow conditions. The first in 1993, when the 'event was recovered in Val Ridanna, the second in 2016, when they held two stages in Ruhpolding.
The special feature of this complex is to have what is widely considered the most complicated circuit dell''intero polygon, since - in addition to being often plagued by wind and fog - you arrive after 600 meters of floor extremely difficult to handle in terms of effort, especially if - as is the case most of the time - the athletes are located upwind. The "zero", therefore, can have a much greater specific weight than other locations.
So far in the DKB-Ski-Arena you were played 45 individual women's events of the first level (3 fifteen kilometers, 20 sprints, 10 chases, 12 mass start), including four with iridescent value.
There are 22 athletes with at least one victory. Among them stand out Magdalena Forsberg and Liv Grete Poirée, capable of commanding in 6 occasions. Sweden holds the record for consecutive wins (3, also obtained three-day nell''arco in January 2001). The Norwegian instead was the absolute star of the World Cup in 2004, when it won a 4 of 'gold medals: three individual (sprint, pursuit, mass start) plus the relay.
About Oberhof we can not forget how this plant has been the theater of the first statement in the World Cup of Magdalena Neuner, of which today marks the tenth anniversary. It was on January 5, 2007 and the Bavarian all''epoca even twenty years old, he won the sprint, winning the first of his thirty-four successes.
Are only three women in business to have already been imposed on the snows of Thuringia: Darya Domracheva (3), Miriam Gössner (1) and Veronika Vitkova (1).
In terms of countries, the highest step of the DKB-Ski-Arena waved ten different flags. The hosts Germany leads the list with 14 victories chased a short distance from Norway (12). Third place went to Sweden (7), while more detached Ukraine and Belarus (3); Russia (2); France, Bulgaria, Canada and the Czech Republic (1).
It is remarkable to see how superpowers such as Russia and France have won so little. At least one of the two Russian successes is an iridescent gold, won by Olga Pyleva in 2004. Instead the 'single hurray transalpine datatissimo, having arrived 21 January 1995 thanks to Anne Briand.
ITALY - HISTORY AND NEWS 'In the history of the' Italy has got 3 podiums, two of which came in the same race. The first is dated January 5, 2000, when Nathalie Santer he finished third in the sprint. In this same format 9 January 2015 Dorothea Wierer and Nicole Gontier are respectively ranked second and third.
Therefore, with regard to the blue in business, the twenty-six South Tyrol and the Aosta Valley twenty-five have an input into the top-three. Karin Oberhofer entered twice in the top ten with the eighth place in the aforementioned sprint of 2015 as best result. Instead Federica Sanfilippo, Lisa Vittozzi and Alexia Runggaldier have not yet arrived placings in the points.
