The Scandinavians steal the show from Wierer again

Last year, Tiril Eckhoff was Wierer's long-term rival for first place in the overall World Cup, but this season she was still well behind her form to this day. But now she is back impressively: The error-free Norwegian confidently won her first victory in nine months ahead of her compatriot Marte Olsbu Røiseland (2 errors) and the Swedish overall World Cup leader Hanna Öberg (3). The latter started the race first as the sprint winner. Azzurre are running behind Wierer was unable to threaten the Scandinavian dominance on Sunday either - which is not surprising given her starting position, three shooting errors and her tired legs. The 30-year-old from Oberrasen tried to fight her way up from 28th place, but had to give up her hopes of a top ten place at the last shooting. After another two penalty laps, she had to settle for 20th place. But Wierer was still by far the best Azzurra: Lisa Vittozzi only finished in 42nd place after six missed shots, while the two South Tyroleans Irene Lardschneider and Federica Sanfilippo took 48th and 54th place after botched appearances at the shooting range.

The World Cup continues on Friday in Hochfilzen. Due to the Corona crisis, there will also be two weeks of competition in Austria one after the other.
