The Azzurri are convincing in the season

Italy (Didier Bionaz, Lukas Hofer, Thomas Bormolini, Dominik Windisch) took 5th place on Sunday in Kontiolahti. The two South Tyroleans, Hofer and Windisch, showed an extremely strong performance and proved once again that they are an integral part of the Italian men's relay . Italy rolls up the field from behind The race didn't exactly start well for the Azzurri. Starting runner Bionaz showed a solid performance at the shooting range (2 spares), but on the cross-country ski trail he couldn't keep up with the best and handed over to Hofer in 16th place, 54,8 seconds behind. The Montaler was as fast as usual on his skis and rolled up the field from behind. At the shooting range, the South Tyrolean - like Bionaz - had to reload twice and led the Azzurri to 2th place with a truly energetic performance on the cross-country ski trail. Hofer reduced the gap to the top to 8 seconds. Bormolini also showed an extremely strong performance. The 29-year-old from Lombardy only had one spare shot at the shooting range, held up well while running and handed over to final runner Windisch in 7th place (+58,1 seconds). The Oberrasner (3 spares) shone in his 2nd race of the season and made up 2 more places for the Azzurri when he passed Switzerland and Austria in the last shooting. In the end, Windisch couldn't let this 5th place be taken away from him. The Azzurri also lost out to France. The highly traded French had to settle for 8th place. Norway wins Victory on Sunday went to Norway (Sturla Holm Lægreid, Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen, Tarjei Bø, Johannes Thingnes Bø), ahead of Sweden (Peppe Femling, Jesper Nelin, Martin Ponsiluoma, Sebastian Samuelsson) and Germany (Erik Lesser, Roman Rees, Arnd Peiffer, Benedikt Doll) prevailed.
