Sheet! Windisch & Co. hand over the medal

1st place at the first change, 3rd place halfway through the race, 2nd place before the last handover - 4th place at the finish. As promising as the first World Cup competition in Hochfilzen began for Italy's biathletes, it ended bitterly. A surprisingly strong one Lisa Vittozzi gave her teammates an optimal starting position as the starting runner Dorothea Wierer defended brilliantly despite three spare rounds. She handed over in third place Lukas hofer . The Pusterer, who was recently handicapped by bronchitis, had to reload once, but only let the extremely strong competition from Germany pass. Final runner Dominik Windisch took over as runner-up. He remained flawless in the prone shooting, but just when there were many signs that he would win a medal, the nerves of Oberrasner, who was otherwise so strong, became noticeable. During the final shooting he hesitated for a long time, had to reload twice and finally let Martin Fourcade and Anton Shipulin, who had meanwhile moved up, pass him. The Azzurri's otherwise extremely strong performance remained unrewarded: Windisch and the Italian relay had to settle for fourth place. At the front of the field, the German biathletes were no longer in danger of giving up the gold medal, even though Fourcade came within 2 seconds. Behind the Frenchman, the Russians completed the podium. Results World Championships in Hochfilzen (AUT) - mixed relay: 1.
