At last it has imposed laura dahlmeier, despite his performance was certainly not started in the best way. Like all athletes more listed in the first two polygons, the German gave a lot to the shot, missing a target in each of two initial sessions.
However, the Bavarian is like climbing usual street shots doing skiing and above all managed to not make more mistakes on the pitch. In particular it handled with great coldness the last polygon, taking all the time necessary to release the bullets in the most favorable moment.
It was not immediately clear if the performance of the Teutonic was worth the victory, but the dynamics have evolved in this direction.
Before Eva PuskarÄÃková missed 3 times a final shot after being found to be clean in the previous three sessions. The Czech has flirted with the first success of his career, but finally concluded thirteenth.
So Anais Chevalier closed quickly all targets on the fourth shooting range, ending his test with a single penalty and recovering over 40 "in Dahlmeier the execution time item only the last shot. Such a huge difference allowed the French to turn into a serious threat to the leadership of the German, but has virtually bypassed thanks to the impressive pace held in the 3 km conclusive. The transalpine has bowed to 3 "8, finishing second, pocketing the third podium of the season and career.
Finally Olga Podchufarova has traced fully what was done by Puskarcikova, with the only difference of being wrong twice instead of three. The Russian has thus had to settle for eighth place that still represents the best result of the winter.
In a day where the wind has multiplied the errors and no athlete was able to achieve the shoot-out, to send sign 19 strokes he has assumed a greater specific weight than usual. Among the few capable of such performance even the blue Alexia Runggaldier it, defending himself very well on skis, took full advantage of the favorable opportunity, and stood in third place, thus gaining the first podium of his career.
That of twenty-five Gardena is in effect an exploit, but it is striking up to a certain point. Besides this format lends itself to surprises (third place Darya Yurkevich in Östersund witness) and in the 15 km, where accuracy is critical, the South Tyrol had already proved last year to be able to aspire to weight results, when the World Championships in Oslo had made it clear that the right day the top-three could be within his reach.
Today everything has turned for the better and Runggaldier, who becomes the seventh Italian in history to reach the podium in the World Cup, has also saved the budget of the blue team, otherwise very inaccurate. Dorothea Wierer (1 + 1 + 1 + 3) concluded 31 ^; Federica Sanfilippo (0 + 3 + 0 + 3) has hovered just out of the points (43 ^), while Lisa Vittozzi (2 + 3 + 1 + 3) lived a Black Thursday concluding the rear.
But they are in so many to be run into a difficult day. Among the contenders for the Crystal Ball the only one not to be wrecked was Marie Dorin Habert, fourth at last although it has proved difficult in skiing. He struggled in the end even Kaisa Mäkäräinen (3 + 0 + 0 + 1), fifteenth. Conversely Gabriela Koukalová held a significant step, but six errors (1 + 1 + 2 + 2) have relegated to the twenty-fourth place.
The consequence of all this is that Dahlmeier regaining the yellow bib. The German leads the overall standings with 615 points, chased by Koukalová to 604, to 594 and to 560 from Mäkäräinen Dorin Habert. Wierer is always fifth with 442.
Dahlmeier also mortgaged specialty Cup, since at one race from the end commands the dedicated ranking with 120 points, against 69 of Hinz, 67 Hauser, 65 Dorin Habert, 63 Braisaz, 62 Chevalier and 61 Podchufarova. Mathematically offside all the others.
In other words, the Bavarian next February 15 will be sufficient to reach thirty-second to rake in the first Small Ball Crystal career.
About Hauser. The Austrian, low bib, now enrolled at the same club and Puskarcikova Podchufarova. Arrived last immaculate range, he missed twice, finishing tenth.
Finally a few words about Darya Domracheva. The Belarusian looks back to early career, very clumsy feet (0 + 4 + 0 + 2). Beware though, the pace improves with every race and the World Cup will be racing for medals.
Tomorrow at 14.15 hours will go into the men's individual scene. Women back on track Saturday at 13:30 for the mass start.
