Irene Lardschneider wins gold

By Luis Mahlknecht from Osrblie

“I was a bit pissed off after the individual competition and wanted to do particularly well today. “I succeeded almost perfectly,” said the modest woman from Val Gardena, who immediately thanked the trainers and wax technicians: “I also have the 'bombs' under my feet to thank for my lead,” she smiled. Even a mistake with the last shot didn't throw the Wolkensteiner off course. She rushed through the penalty loop and the rest of the route in no time and set a sensational time that was not in the least jeopardized by the strong competition. Lardschneider's triumph was complemented by her roommate Samuela Comola's third place. She shot perfectly in difficult conditions and won the bronze medal behind the Austrian Anna Gandler (daughter of the “Nordic boss” Markus).

Irene Lardschneider now goes into the pursuit competition on Sunday with a lead of 1.06,5:33 minutes, for which the other two “Azzurre” were also able to qualify. 41rd place went to Martina Vigna, Marianna Sartor (the athlete from Sappada goes to school in Mals) took XNUMXst place.

The Azzurri rush past the podium

Italy's biathlon and fourth places - the topic is currently developing into an almost never-ending story. In the sprint competition at the Junior World Championships in Osrblie there was also “Blech” for a representative from the Italian team. Cedric Christille from the Aosta Valley finished the men's youth sprint competition on this thankless rank and was the leader of an excellent team performance from the boys under head coach Alex Inderst, which unfortunately went unrewarded in terms of medals.

Patrick Braunhofer in 7th and Peter Tumler in 8th also made a difference on the extremely difficult routes in Slovakia. Braunhofer missed one shot each time, Tumler even missed two in a series, but both were fast on the track. Although Braunhofer wasn't able to reach his full potential after a flu that wasn't completely cured, Tumler ran a great race on track and also made up a few places on the last lap. This constellation of the “Azzurri” (4 – 7 – 8) promises an extremely exciting starting position for the chase on Sunday. The new youth sprint world champion is Emilien Claude from France, who was in a class of his own as a runner and relegated the Ukrainian Serhiy Telen and the Norwegian Sivert Guttorm Bakken to the places of honor.
