MTB World Championships: The starting signal will be given on Tuesday

The first medals will be awarded in the Eliminator competition on Tuesday, September 1st in the early afternoon. Qualification starts at 13.15:14.30 p.m., while the finals in the knockout system are scheduled for 16.30:XNUMX p.m. The new world champions should be announced around XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. With Anna Oberparleiter (Olang), the reigning vice-European champion in the XCE, South Tyrol has a very hot iron in the fire.

Wednesday is all about the team relay. After the performances shown in the training camp in Val di Sole last week, Hubert Pallhuber still has to finally decide who he will send into the race. Eva Lechner (Eppan) is considered seeded. Also because she has already won this title three times (2009, 2012 and 2013).

From Thursday it's all about the medals in the cross-country individual races. First up are the junior girls (13 p.m.) and junior men (15 p.m.). Two South Tyroleans, Greta Seiwald (Pichl Gsies) and Jakob Dorigoni (Branzoll), will be at the start here.

Lisa Rabensteiner is in the squad in the U23 age group, which will be in action on Friday. The 21-year-old took third place three times in the World Cup this year and is one of the medal candidates for that reason alone. Here too, the races are scheduled for 13 p.m. for women and 15 p.m. for men.

Saturday is the moment of truth for the general age group. From 12 p.m. Eva Lechner and Anna Oberparleiter will be in action together with their competitors from all over the world. The men's race starts at 14.30:XNUMX p.m. with Gerhard Kerschbaumer (Verdings) and Maximilian Vieider (Bozen).

By the way, downhill rider Veronika Widmann (Tramin) will also be qualifying on Saturday morning, before the Italian champion will compete for precious metal on Sunday from 12.30 p.m. – provided she qualifies for the final.
