There is a state of emergency again in Antholz

Up to 70.000 spectators on the race weekend, the world elite of biathlon and Dorothea Wierer as the overall leader of the World Cup: everything is prepared for the Antholz Festival. On Tuesday and Wednesday the athletes will train in the South Tyrol Arena, and on Thursday the women will compete in their first competition (7,5 kilometer sprint). The next day is the men's sprint, before the pursuits take place on Saturday and the mass starts on Sunday.

All eyes on Dorothea Wierer In Antholz, the eyes of fans and experts will be focused primarily on Dorothea Wierer: The racer is enjoying the home advantage and is traveling to Antholz as the overall leader of the World Cup for the first time in her career. However, one teammate of all people is contesting her yellow jersey: Lisa Vittozzi from Sappada/Plodn has had an explosion in performance and is in second place in the overall standings - 18 points behind Wierer.

In the men's competition, however, there is only one big favorite: Johannes Thingnes Bø is in the form of his life this year and is collecting World Cup victory after World Cup victory. In the overall standings he is around 200 points ahead of Alexander Loginov from Russia. From a South Tyrolean perspective, Lukas Hofer, who has already finished in the top 10 six times this year, is a hot commodity - or perhaps the out-of-form Dominik Windisch will achieve a great breakthrough in his homeland of all places? In any case, a state of emergency will prevail in Antholz from Thursday. Biathlon World Cup in Antholz, the program Thursday, January 24th 14.30 p.m.: Women's sprint over 7,5 km
