“Doro” gets the small ball – the big one still has to wait

It wasn't an outstanding pursuit competition that Dorothea Wierer delivered on Saturday in Oslo. The speedster missed 4 out of 20 targets and ended up in 12th place. But the 29 points she received for this were enough for her to move past Lisa Vittozzi in the rankings (she had not qualified for the pursuit). to collect a small crystal ball.

The 28-year-old South Tyrolean has won the second ball of her career. In 2015/16 she was already able to celebrate Crystal in the individual rankings. On Sunday, Wierer has all the trump cards in the mass start to secure the ball for the overall World Cup. Before the last race of the season, the racer is 23 points ahead of Lisa Vittozzi. With a 6th place on Sunday, Wierer can win the overall World Cup on his own. “Doro” is also at the top of the mass start ranking (5 points ahead of Hanna Öberg) and could grab this ball too.

Kuzmina outstanding Anastasia Kuzmina won the competition on Saturday – and in an impressive manner. Thursday's sprint winner sank all 20 targets and crossed the finish line with a respectable lead of 1.42 minutes over second-place Denise Herrmann.
