LIVE from Kontiolahti for the women's Sprint: Wierer and Herrmann, the duel is renewed

The women's Sprint scheduled at 13:40 Italian time will close the first stage of the 2020/21 World Cup. Dorothea Wierer, after a dream debut, also wants to start well in the format on the two polygons to try to conquer the specialty crystal ball, escaped in the final of last season and still absent in her very rich showcase.

The 2020/21 World Cup is in its infancy but it seems already marked by a stellar duel, between Dorothea Wierer and Denise Herrmann. The blue with an absolute champion performance took home the first round but it is already time for a new challenge. And in this case the favors of the prediction hang on the side of the German, winner of the last two Sprints of last season and holder of the specialty cup. Herrmann seems in an exceptional condition both from the pitch and on the skis and in this format he could really make a difference. It will certainly mean his Mars Roeiseland, opaque in the 15 km but at the same time very fast in the fund, partial in which he recorded the best time. The redemption opportunity for the norge was immediately served, as well as for the compatriot Tirill Eckhoff, yesterday only 67a with seven shooting errors. Here the complete Start List. Here the IBU Live Timing. Said of the Scandinavians (Norway side), all the insiders are wondering what the Swedish battleship can do, which in the Individual has placed five athletes among the top eleven. Team star Hanna Oeberg finished "only" seventh and fourth among her companions and will certainly want to re-establish internal hierarchies. Appeal test in the blue ranks for Lisa Vittozzi, back from an undoubtedly negative race and strongly conditioned by the first polygon, where she covered only one target. Shooting accuracy will therefore be essential to regain confidence in view of the next races. Federica Sanfilippo and Nicole Gontier will aim to enter the points area, while Irene Lardschneider is called to raise the shooting percentages, since it is her strong point.
