Dorothea Wierer is the new sprint queen

At the beginning it didn't look as if Wierer would take the next victory: in the prone shooting she acted quickly and safely as usual, but left the last target standing and was therefore 20 seconds behind the previous leader Svetlana Mironova on. Her teammate Lisa Vittozzi had a similar experience and also scored a ticket in changing wind conditions.

Mironova then made a mistake in the standing position - and Wierer took advantage of it. The woman from Niederrasner hit everything and took the lead after the second shooting. She didn't give it back until the end. With a fantastic final lap, she left behind even those athletes who didn't make a single mistake. Like the Norwegian Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold, who had to settle for second place at the end of the day. As a result, no one came close to Wierer's time - the second win of the season was in the clear. The Russian Mironova came third.

Sanfilippo makes a mistake The race was bitter for Federica Sanfilippo: The 29-year-old from Ridnaun made no mistakes in the prone stage, but she missed the target twice in the standing stage and finished the race in 45th place. Vittozzi is also not in top form yet: despite only making one mistake, she remained She was exactly one minute behind the beaming winner Wierer and finished in 23rd place.

Meanwhile, the German biathletes experienced a debacle. Denise Herrmann, the best of a very weak German team, only ended up in 41st place and therefore outside the points.
