There is also a podium for the biathletes at the end

By Luis Mahlknecht from Canmore (Canada) Canmore is simply a good place for Italian biathlon. At the site of the first Olympic medals in 1988, at the end of the World Cup races in the Canadian Rockies, there was second place in the final competition in the mixed relay. Dorothea Wierer, Karin Oberhofer, Lukas Hofer and Dominik Windisch set the pace right from the start, only having a slack moment when Karin Oberhofer got a penalty and had to let the German team go. While from then on nothing was possible at the front and the German men Arnd Peiffer and Simon Schempp achieved an unchallenged, confident victory, Lukas Hofer and Dominik Windisch, who made no mistakes at the shooting range, secured a brilliant second place with a brave performance ahead of the Norwegians, who were always convincing this time US representatives. It was probably the final icing on the cake after a series of impressive biathlon days in Alberta, Canada. The team around Patrick Oberegger and Andreas Zingerle was correspondingly happy.

France is at the top in the single mixed relay, but Italy is also strong A few hours earlier, Marie Dorin Habert and Martin Fourcade had entered the individual mixed relay as big favorites, and the result also met general expectations. It was a clear start-to-finish victory for the strong duo, who completely dominated the fast race. Round after round, the champions from the “Grande Nation” increased their lead over the competition. Behind them, a great competition broke out for the honorary positions, in which Austria (Lisa Theresa Hauser, Simon Eder) ultimately prevailed ahead of Norway (Hilde Fenne, Lars Helge Birkeland). On the last lap, Italy also rushed forward - also thanks to Erik Lesser's (Germany) mistakes. Lisa Vittozzi, who shot sensationally as (almost) always did, and Thomas Bormolini, who needed a few spare rounds “too many”, ended up with a more than satisfactory fifth place.
