Double biathlon fun in Antholz on Saturday

So far this year, two relay competitions have taken place, one of which was won by the German team (in Hochfilzen) and one by the Swedes (in Oberhof). The Ukrainians have also been in very good shape so far this season, celebrating second and fourth place. In the German team, Magdalena Neuner is rested after recovering from a cold; Sabrina Buchholz, Kathrin Hitzer, Miriam Gössner and Andrea Henkel are used.

Due to the Russian team's strong performance in yesterday's sprint competition, it will also be interesting to see how Svetlana Sleptsova, Anna Bogaliy-Titovets, Natalia Guseva and Olga Zaitseva will perform.

The Italian team was very consistent this year and finished ninth in both competitions. After starting runner Michela Ponza, Karin Oberhofer and Roberta Fiandino are sent into the race. As the final runner, Katja Haller is supposed to take the chestnuts out of the fire for the “Azzurre” in front of the home crowd.

At 15.30:2010 p.m. the South Tyrol Arena in Antholz will be the venue for the men's mass start competition. There has only been one race in this discipline so far in the 11/51 season, which is why it is difficult to pick a favorite here. In Oberhof, Tarjei Boe from Norway came out on top, ahead of Emil Hegle Svendsen and the Russian Ivan Tcherezov. However, in the sprint competition at the start of the World Cup week in Antholz, Boe had a terrible day and only came XNUMXst.

Anton Shipulin, who achieved his first World Cup victory on Thursday, will approach the race with a lot of self-confidence. The two place finishers from the sprint race, the German Michael Greis and Lars Berger from Norway, can also be expected. Both are currently in great physical shape.

The Italian team is sending three athletes into the race, namely Christian De Lorenzi - he surprised with a fifth place in the sprint - Lukas Hofer and Markus Windisch.
