“Everything is hidden”: The final conclusion from Antholz

When starting runner Rebecca Passler came into the mixed zone immediately after her strong performance SportNews I asked her what result she would be happy with in the end: “From the top 5 upwards, everything is great.” And that’s how it turned out in the end. “I would have it before the start fourth place certainly signed,” said the somewhat disappointed Hannah Auchentaller after the race.

What stands out about Passler is her strong nerves. At the age of 21, she stayed cool in her first Antholz relay and shot zero twice. “Today I blocked everything out and didn’t look at the audience at all during the race. At the shooting range I only saw the targets and tried not to notice anything else. I managed that well today.” “I blocked everything out today and didn’t look at the audience at all during the race.” Rebecca Passler And about the fact that three South Tyroleans were nominated for the relay, Passler said the following: “The three of us were really looking forward to it when we received this information together. For me and Hannah it was the first relay race at home. It’s just nice to experience everything together.”

Wierer satisfied Dorothea Wierer was tired after the strenuous last few days. Nevertheless, she still took time to chat with us immediately after her performance. “It’s always special at home. It's something special to compete in the season together with Hannah and Rebecca. They showed great races here and have a lot of potential. But there are also other South Tyroleans who are coming. Maybe one day we’ll even manage a quadruple South Tyrolean relay (laughs).”

Hannah Auchentaller was a little dejected after the successful last few days on Sunday: “I was really happy when I found out that I could start today. I'm even more sorry about my penalty today. I'm already disappointed now, but I think in a few days I'll be able to look back positively on my first home World Cup. My goal before the sprint was to do two races. I never thought it would end up being three.” “I think in a few days I will be able to look back positively on my first home World Cup.” Hannah Auchentaller Final runner Lisa Vittozzi seemed satisfied after her strong comeback, but she couldn't have done better than fourth place: “I met Hannah at the finish and told her that it was just a race and things like that are part of it. Everyone has to gain such experiences. I told her it would definitely be better next time.”

Braunhofer emotionally In the men's race, Italy achieved a strong fifth place on Sunday afternoon. The South Tyrolean starting runner Patrick Braunhofer was not entirely satisfied with his final lap: “I really accelerated in the second lap. I paid for that a little at the shooting range. On the last lap I felt my legs.” “When you run up the Huber Alm, you don’t understand your own trainer.” Patrick Braunhofer The South Tyrolean is by no means unaffected by the emotions in Antholz: “It’s just great here. When you run up the Huber Alm, you don't understand your own trainer. It's that loud here." And about a possible World Cup nomination, Braunhofer said: "Of course I hope that I'll be there. But we don’t know anything yet.”
