The tip of the diamond team is obviously Dorothea Wierer gradually improved over the years until it reached its present excellence. The twenty-six of Rasun-Anterselva has now become a complete biathlete. In fact, his performance in the fund allows it to be among the first 10-15 of the circuit, but its exceptional speed in execution time allows her to make a difference at the shooting range, where the percentages are also very high.
Needless to hide the fact that the expectations are very high, because the Financial Tyrolean part with the aim to repeat last season, when he collected three wins and 10 podium finishes, finishing third overall and winning the World Cup for the individual specialties.
In an environment where in recent times has created a power vacuum at the top, they are many to be able to forward to claim the crown. Dorothea has proven to be part of the group of claimants to the throne, and therefore be able to aspire to the conquest of the Crystal Ball.
To do it really is a different kettle of fish. The competition is very fierce, and surely there are more opponents listed her (laura dahlmeier and Marie Dorin Habert of all). However, if in the last few months have made it the Leicester City, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Portugal, the Chicago Cubs, Donald Trump and (perhaps) Nico Rosberg, do not see why even Wierer can not dream to climb on top of the world.
To do so will be imperative to improve the accuracy in feet, where the only component of the blue team leader really pays duty compared to the best of the circuit. Of course you will also need to stay healthy, but this is true for all.
The role of the second strength of the team is up to Karin Oberhofer, only over-30 team. In the recent past thirty-one of the Isarco Valley has been able to obtain results above all expectations, even hoisting a World Championship medal. The impression is that 2014-'15 has been a kind of unique vintage grace, but the representative of the Army Sports Centre has nevertheless confirmed among the 20 best in the world even in the winter past.
His perspective is to look for some exploits, azzeccando a good day to be shot in the fund. Collect several placings in the top ten is a goal well within his reach, to get on the podium will instead also the inevitable pinch of luck.
The Oberhofer goals are not dissimilar to those of Federica Sanfilippo and Lisa Vittozzi, girls different age, but whose prices are rising at the same time now for a two-year period.
In particular, the first has managed to pull off the track those hidden qualities for many years few have been able to (wanted?) To recognize. The twenty-six of Ridnauntal was able to put to use all his talent on the narrow skis, component which has made great strides and where it is now among the top twenty of the circuit. It will be interesting to see if there are further growth, but age and the athlete's path assumptions anticipate that it can still be room.
For the policewoman South Tyrolean key to getting weight results will be the polygon. Compared with the years as a junior he has improved exponentially, but its accuracy is still dancing. When you can express themselves better, then will not be surprising to find it among the ten or even on the podium already it trod twelve months ago right in Östersund.
In general for Federica the goal will be to repeat what has been done throughout the winter in the first half of last season, before a persistent viral infection to condition negatively its performance. Should he failed to March you will see peregrine in the first 25/30 positions of the general classification.
The goals that can point Sanfilippo, are the same for Vittozzi desirable, although it is the athlete's totally symmetrical features all'altoatesina of Sardinian origin. Extremely early for Italians standards, the Friuli school Venetian twenty is in fact already very solid shooting (sa express themselves behind at 90%), but the fund still suffers from the comparison with the best.
Understandable, since you are talking to a girl in junior age until last year, whose potential is yet to be discovered. Even the representative of the Forest the goal will be replicated for the entire span of the season as it did in a portion of 2015-'16, in his case the second half, when he learned show up consistently in the top thirty positions. Maybe also you are making a step forward, which in fact would do occasionally peep into the top ten.
Hope the same for Alexia Runggaldier might be overkill, but not even utopian. Moreover, the twenty-five policewoman Gardena has regenerated and is fresh from the best winter of his career, in which she has even threatened to blow up in the individual of the Oslo World Tour. Accuracy at the range is not in question and just this granitic certainty should enable it to settle continuously at the bottom of the points, creating occasionally some bets in the best winds.
Finally Nicole Gontier is absolutely unknown. The Aosta Valley is from a vintage nightmare, but it is very hard to believe that a girl of just last twenty five years can be on the podium in the World Cup in January 2015 may have completely lost within a few months. Or rather, to get lost is lost, but at the same time has everything to find his way back and lost his speech interrupted a year and a half ago. Only the track will tell at what level we will review the representative of the Army Sports Centre. Probably the constancy will always defect, but the hope is to see you again capable of exploits of the past.
There are other blue with the ambition to be competitive in the maximum circuit, because behind these six is ​​a real abyss. The number seven is Italian Carmen Runggaldier, younger sister Alexia, for which the goal will do their best in Ibu Cup. The rest of the movement is made up of athletes still too immature to be able to have their say in an international context.
