Oberhof brings back fond memories

Even without double Olympic champion and local hero Laura Dahlmeier, who will only compete in the World Cup again in Ruhpolding, a spectacle is guaranteed in Thuringia. Only Dorothea Wierer, who is in the form of her life and now wants to smile from the winner's podium in Oberhof for the first time, will make sure of that. The 28-year-old racer was already on the podium in second place in a sprint in 2015 and a pursuit race last winter.

Six South Tyroleans won in the Thuringian Forest In general, the winter sports center in the German low mountain range is a good place for South Tyroleans. Wilfried Pallhuber (1995), Andreas Zingerle and Johann Passler (both 1993) have already celebrated World Cup victories here. Dominik and Markus Windisch and Lukas Hofer won the men's relay with De Lorenzi seven years ago, and last year Hofer and Dominik Windisch ran second again with Bormolini and Chenal on the "Stockerl". In total, the Italian selection in Oberhof has already achieved twelve podium finishes. Italy at the start with a large squad Ten “Azzurri” want to expand on this haul at the upcoming World Cup stage. In addition to Wierer, Alexia Runggaldier (Gröden), Federica Sanfilippo (Ridnaun), Lisa Vittozzi, Nicole Gontier, as well as Dominik Windisch (Rasen), Lukas Hofer (Montal), Giuseppe Montello, Thomas Bormolini and Thierry Chenal are at the start in Oberhof.

It starts on Thursday (14.30:14.30 p.m.) with the women's sprint, followed by the men's sprint on Friday (12.45:15 p.m.). The pursuit begins on Saturday (11.45 p.m. and 14.30 p.m.), before the relay races conclude on Sunday (XNUMX a.m. and XNUMX p.m.).
