After bronze in the mixed relay: That's what Wierer & Co say.

After the Germans protested, Dominik Windisch defended his actions on the finish line: “I was ahead of Peiffer at the start of the finish line. The rule says that the runner in front decides which lane he enters." The 28-year-old Rasner dedicated the medal to his female teammates: "Lisa and Dorothea have achieved sensational things here in Pyeongchang and have still been left without a medal to this day. They more than deserve this bronze medal.”

Hofer and the anxious minutes after the race Lukas Hofer experienced anxious minutes after the end of the relay: “We couldn’t celebrate after the race because the Germans protested and it took 35 minutes until we were finally sure that we had won bronze.” The Montaler sees the medal as particularly important for the entire association: “A good result in the relay not only underlines the strong performance of the athletes, but also that of the association. The mixed relay has become more and more influential as a competition in recent years: initially, many large nations did without it because it was held between the classic relay events. But now it takes place before the other seasons and is therefore taken more seriously than in previous times.” Now comes the women's relay: Wierer wants more After the bronze medal in the mixed relay, a lot of pressure was relieved: “My previous races weren't that good because I made too many mistakes on the shooting range. But I always knew what I could do and stayed calm. This medal is confirmation because we have a good team. It would be nice if we could get something with the women’s relay team too.”

Lisa Vittozzi, the only one not from South Tyrol, was also overjoyed: “I have had the goal of being part of this mixed relay for two years. I really wanted this medal, I wanted to win.”

The women will be in action again on Thursday. The relay will take place from 12.15 p.m. South Tyrol time. The men's relay will be the last biathlon competition at the PyeongChang Olympics on Friday.
