Wie die FISI am Montagnachmittag schrieb, ist Dorothea Wierer nach wie vor stark erkältet. Deswegen wird die zweimalige Gesamtweltcup-Siegerin auch am Dienstag (15.05 Uhr) im Einzelwettkampf nicht an den Start gehen. Am Sonntag ließ Wierer schon die Verfolgung aus.

Already on Friday, Wierer had, after her 21st place in the sprint against SportNews in Lenzerheide explains, that her health is not good at the moment. The 34-year-old has enormous problems with breathing – even during a normal walk.

Wierer's decision not to compete in the individual event is of course bitter from the azure blue perspective, because that would have been one of the best chances of winning a medal. It is currently unclear whether the South Tyrolean will be able to compete in the single mixed relay on Thursday. Her place in the individual competition will be taken by Martina Trabucchi. She completes the quartet of Hannah Auchentaller, Samuela Comola and the in-form Michela Carrara.
