Home victory! Wierer triumphs in Antholz

A sold-out house in Antholz with 25.000 spectators and then a home win. Biathlon heart, what more could you want? After 8th place in the sprint Dorothea Wierer is at the top of the pursuit, for the first time in her career. Behind Wierer, Lisa Vittozzi and Laura Dahlmeier fought for second place for a long time. In the end, the German came out on top.

But because the 25-year-old from Garmisch-Partenkirchen took a long time and also made a mistake, she was overtaken by Wierer and Vittozzi.

The roommates took the lead together, extended their lead and came to the final shooting together. While Wierer shot as quickly as usual and made a mistake, Vittozzi took a little longer and also made a mistake - which cost the “Azzurre” the double victory.
