BiathlonOberhof World Cup

Season that comes alive also for the Italian team and in particular for Dorothea Wierer, back from good performances in the two stages of Hochfilzen, crowned by the podium in the Mass Start. The Oberhof races will tell if the World Cup holder will be racing for the crystal ball: a lot will depend on the results in the Sprints. The competition context is not one of the South Tyrolean's favorites, but in 2015 he was second in the format ahead of Gontier. Oberhof could also be the turning point for Lisa Vittozzi's season, hitherto dull. Two years ago in Thuringia the sappadina achieved the Sprint-Pursuit double: a good omen for tomorrow's race.
Here the complete Start list!
Here the IBU Live Timing!
Among the favorites on the eve, Mars Roeiseland, leader of the overall standings of the World Cup, cannot miss, who is looking for the first seasonal success in the format. A victory that she misses from the World Championships in Anterselva and that could lead her to escape in the race for the crystal ball. However, she will have to watch her back from compatriot Eckhoff, fresh from the Sprint-Pursuit match in Hochfilzen and also from Hanna Oeberg, who is behind her both in the overall and in the specialty standings.
