They have changed the context of race and even the continent, but the protagonist has always remained the same. Laura dahlmeier has created yet another winter of a trial of strength in which is giving the absolute solidity demonstration.
The German has not really left their opponents space, marking the best time skiing and covering all the targets. The addition of the two factors has given as obvious result the victory, the fourth consecutive season and the eighth.
The only able to stay in the Bavarian wake was Tiril Eckhoff. Norway has found the first exploit of a vintage hitherto totally anonymous covering all targets - made for her rare - and proving very competitive in the fund. Despite a performance at the limit of its possibilities, the Scandinavian had to sit at the place of honor, joke 8 "4.
Kaisa Mäkäräinen was the only one to really challenge the leadership of the Teutonic, but a double penalty at the shooting range in the foot store has made every aspiration to strive for success. Despite almost a minute of posting, the Finn still finished fourth ahead of narrow extent the American Susan Dunklee and Ukrainian Yuliia Dzhima, for which continued the good form at the World Cup began.
The lowest step of the podium was occupied by Marie Dorin Habert, author of a test without errors and addressed to the third position. However the race is over the French at the beginning of the last round, when she felt ill. The first information talking about severe dizziness and 'thirties expert has preferred to stop.
However the third place went to another transalpine, Anais Chevalier, confermatasi now very solid in what can be considered the winter when it is finally able to build on that talent that was unanimously recognized by experts, but long remained latent.
Bad day for Gabriela Koukalová, absolutely untouchable. The Czech missed two targets and exceedingly labored skiing, ending in a dismal twenty-first position (just behind Darya Domracheva).
Little glory even at home Italy, with the blue all extremely inaccurate on the ground. Dorothea Wierer (1 + 0) was the best, finishing thirteenth. Lisa Vittozzi (2 + 0) concluded twenty-third, while Alexia Runggaldier (2 + 0) is not even entered in the points, closing forty-eighth. Absent instead Federica Sanfilippo, struggling for several days with an infection of the airways.
In the overall standings of the World Cup (calculated net of scrap) Dahlmeier takes off, pulling himself to 963 points. Koukalová lost the trail and now limps to -118, resulting in increasingly remote from the top than it is to her Mäkäräinen, third (-187). Now offside Dorin Habert.
