NEWS 'The stage of Oberhof has completely reshuffled the cards in the fight for the Crystal Ball, particularly in light of the decision to laura dahlmeier not participate in the sprint and pursuit. The yellow bib is therefore passed on the shoulders of Gabriela Koukalová, which controls the overall standings by a margin of 15 points right on the German, 31 and 53 of Kaisa Mäkäräinen Marie Dorin Habert. It is true that the game of scraps causes Dahlmeier is the virtual leader with an advantage of 24 points on the Czech, Finland on 63 and 84 on the French. However it is also true that the cream has no margin to be here at the end of the season, since it already has two "zero" in their own table, unlike the other contenders for the World Cup. Home Italy was emerging from a more than decent weekend. Dorothea Wierer has forfeited two top-eight despite a stage of suffering skiing and Federica Sanfilippo has forfeited the best weekend of his winter. Alexia Runggaldier good or bad remained on his level, while Lisa Vittozzi the budget was conditioned by a day-no shooting. HISTORY Ruhpolding can be called the first of the two "Great Classics" biathlon since hosted a stage of the maximum rose circuit in all seasons, except for 1992 - '' 93. In compensation last year was the scene of a recovery following the Oberhof package, so hosting two consecutive stages. So far in the Chiemgau Arena you were played 64 first-level individual competitions reserved for women (13 fifteen kilometers, 28 sprints, 14 chases, 9 mass start), six with iridescent value. Bavarian snows were in fact the scene of two editions of the Women's World Cup: in 1996 and 2012. It also added 25 relay events. In fact here we were staged four World tout court, but in 1979 and 1985 were held exclusively male evidence (in the first case because there was a circuit for the fairer sex, the second because the events were separated and the girls competed in Switzerland, Egg am Etzel). Are 37 athletes to boast at least one victory in Ruhpoding. Among them stand out the names of two Norwegians: Tora Berger and Liv Grete Poirée, impostesi 5 times each. It should however be noted as the first is the 'only one to have won in all formats and how his statements comprise 2 of' gold medals at the 2012 World Cup. Women in business to have already excelled in the Chiemgau Arena are seven. Gabriela Koukalová won 3 achievements. Boast two victories Darya Domracheva and laura dahlmeier while they festegiato on a single occasion Miriam Gössner, Fanny Horn-Birkeland, Franziska Hildebrand and Dorothea Wierer. In terms of nations, on the highest step of the podium went up eleven different countries. With three statements of last year, Germany achieved Norway to the list command, appaiandola to quota 13. Both are hunted by Russian movement (12, as all Soviet and CIS, etc. are attributed to Russian). Is then Sweden (7). They stood at 4 France, Belarus, and the Czech movement (including a success at the time of Czechoslovakia, due to a Bohemian). Bulgaria is third, followed by Ukraine and Italy (2) as well as from Canada (1). Although the races are 64 accredited successes are 65. This is because in the sprint of 14 January 2005 there was an ex aequo victory between Russian Olga Medvedtseva and Svetlana Tchernousova. The Italian victories are signed by Nathalie Santer, in the sprint of 15 January 2000, and in the individual Dorothea Wierer of January 14, 2016.

Even Nicole Gontier is credited with a placing in the ten, having placed 10th in the mass start in January 2015. Lisa Vittozzi and Alexia Runggaldier have instead ended up at the edge of the points.
