IBU Cup final in Ridnaun: Let's start with the sprints

The biathletes start the race at 10.30:14 a.m. and the men will determine the winner of the day in the early afternoon from XNUMX p.m. In addition, the discipline trophies are also awarded to the most consistent ski hunter. Starting at 10.30:7,5 a.m., the biathletes have to cover 150 kilometers on skis and complete two shooting tests - once lying down and once standing. For every missed shot there is a 1 meter long penalty loop. Brit Amanda Lightfoot starts the race with starting number 326. The Frenchwoman Caroline Colombo is currently five points ahead of the Norwegian Ragnhild Femsteinevik in the discipline rankings with 313 points. Colombo's compatriots Camille Bened, who collected 292 points over the course of the season, and Lou Jeanmonnot (XNUMX), who is in first place in the overall ranking of the IBU Cup, also have a chance. The starting shot for the biathletes, who will complete 10 kilometers on the cross-country ski trail, is at 14 p.m. Here, in the sprint ranking, Erlend Bjoentegaard from Norway could overtake his compatriot Haavard Gutuboe Bogetveit, who is not at the start in Ridnaun. Bjoentegaard, who is ahead in the overall standings, is currently nine points behind the absent Bogetveit with 376 points. The sprint will be opened by the Swiss Serafin Wiestner. Italy's biathletes are aiming for the podium The “Azzurre” can also get involved in the fight for the day’s victory on Thursday, as Michela Carrara from Aostan impressively demonstrated last week with her victory in the sprint in Lenzerheide. “We can definitely be confident of a top placement among the women. We have a very strong and competitive team. For the men, we are aiming for a top ten result, which would already be a great success. Here the density is even higher and, above all, the strong Norwegians are top athletes who are among the ten to 20 fastest cross-country skiers in the World Cup,” says head coach Alexander Inderst, who is already working with his entire team with a view to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Antholz . Italy is sending Eleonora Fauner, Beatrice Trabucchi, Michela Carrara, Martina Trabucchi, Gaia Brunetto and Linda Zingerle from Antholz into the women's race, while local hero Patrick Braunhofer, Daniele Cappellari, Michele Molinari, Cedric Christille and Daniele Fauner are competing in the men's race.
