The medal 'gold & egrave; was won by Germany formed by Franziska Hildebrand, Franziska Preu szlig ;, & Vanessa Hinz and Laura Dahlmeier. The Teutonic are games with the 'idea to go on the run, but the plan & egrave; Since failed & eacute; to launch Hildebrand has not made a difference. In the second village Preu & szlig; held blow to all opposing pi & ugrave; Dangerous AFTER THAT & eacute; Hinz you & egrave; unquestionably earned the role of MVP of the day taking off compared to direct competitors and handing Dahlmeier a margin of absolute safety, but without forcing further expanded to the maximum. So Germany won the first success of weight in a main event from the withdrawal of Magdalena Neuner, which occurred in 2012, confirming that the Neue Deutsche Welle represented by Bavarian born in the '90s & egrave; destined to attend consistently the leaders of the women's biathlon, which is & egrave; just overlooking. Medal 'silver for France composed Anais Bescond, Enora Latuilliere, Justine and Marie Dorin Habert Braisaz. The transalpine have made the race that could be expected on the eve or the first two factional have tended to limit the damage of skiing and Braisaz struggled at the shooting range, finishing nell''anello of penalty payment agrave; to the ground. However, the teenager has reacted to the great and, after using only a charging stand, she changed into fourth place allowing Dorin Habert remounting to the square of 'honor, albeit at 1 minute exactly from Germany. As mentioned bronze medal for the 'Italy took sides with Lisa Vittozzi, Karin Oberhofer, Nicole Gontier and Dorothea Wierer. For the blue things got testy since the launch as Vittozzi, trovatasi to fill this role for the first time in his career, has changed in the lead. Oberhofer held in proportion to the team, then Gontier has done his duty by minimizing refills. Wierer finally & egrave; demonstrated very solid, bypassing Ekaterina Shumilova and surrendering only in the final to Dorin Habert. The 'Italian biathlon incamera then a medal for the third consecutive main event and for the fourth time in the last five years. There are not many sports branded Fisi to boast such consistent results in the current decade. The hope then & egrave; that we continue to invest more and more & ugrave; in this discipline, both by the federal and by private (read sponsors). & Egrave; important to note that each of the three teams get on the podium has un''atleta in et & agrave; junior in the quartet (Preu & szlig ;, Braisaz, Vittozzi) demonstrating how the competitiveness & agrave; average women's circuit will grow & agrave; level in the years to come. However, wanting to find an MVP in the Italian quartet, this must be identified precisely in the twenties of the Venetian school of Friuli, talented nell''andare beyond expectations before. No junior instead in Russia, fourth, who has shone in odd fractions (Ekaterina Glazyrina to launch and Ekaterina Yurlova third), struggling to & ograve; in the even with Olga and Ekaterina Podchufarova Shumilova. Surely there will be & agrave; Because disappointment & eacute; the Russians had started the 'last segment of the race in second place, but they are seen refit 30 "from the Italian and 50" from the French. Fifth Norway, according to their possibilities espressasi & agrave ;, front of Ukraine and Belarus. Poland, bogey Eve, has changed in the lead after the launch but & egrave; immediately sunk. Great defeat of the day the Czech Republic who, after winning three of the five relay teams played in the season without ever getting off the podium, today concluded ruefully eighth. In truth & agrave; Central European and were fighting for medals until the sixth polygon, especially thanks to Gabriela SoukalovÃ¡ who repaired to a matte launch of Eva Puskarcikova. However Jitka Landova & egrave; over nell''anello of penalty payment agrave; after the standing shooting, missing the train for the podium before Veronika Vitkova finally wrecked. For Czech & egrave; arrived success in the World Cup relay, but the conquest of this superfluous trophy can not & ograve; certainly offset the disappointment today. WORLD Kontiolahti - MIXED RELAY 1.
