Dahlmeier as if from another planet - Wierer comes away empty-handed

One thing first: The title fights in the Tyrolean Pillerseetal were not those of Dorothea Wierer. The exceptional athlete from Niederrasen traveled across the Brenner Pass with high hopes of winning a medal, but returned home empty-handed. Even in the final mass start race, the 26-year-old wasn't able to make it into the top three. Wierer: “I expected more” However, Wierer once again placed himself among the absolute best in the world and thus contributed to an extremely strong performance for the Italian selection. After one mistake in each of the last two shooting sessions, she crossed the finish line in eighth place. “I lost the stick at a bad time and then lost my stride,” explained the woman from Niederrasen after the race and added: “Of course I expected more, but I had difficulties again at the shooting range. There simply wasn’t anything more inside." Wierer placed directly ahead of her teammate Alexia Runggaldier. The individual bronze medalist remained flawless at the shooting range, but lost a lot of time on the cross-country ski trail compared to Wierer and ended up in ninth place. In addition to Wierer and Runggaldier, eleventh-placed Lisa Vittozzi also made it to the front of the field. For a long time it seemed as if Federica Sanfilippo could also fight for the top ten positions, but she made a whopping five errors in the final two shooting stages and slipped back to 21st place. Dahlmeier unbeatable Meanwhile, at the front, Laura Dahlmeier once again put on the big show. On the final lap, the 23-year-old from Garmisch left the surprisingly strong American Susan Dunklee standing and sprinted to her fifth world championship title in Hochfilzen. Dunkele was able to celebrate silver, while the experienced Finn Kaisa Mäkäräinen concluded her previously disappointing World Championships with bronze.
