Place 67: What was wrong with Wierer?

What's wrong with Dorothea Wierer? Some fans will have asked themselves that in front of their TV screens on Friday. Nothing went together for the speedster; in the last sprint of the season she missed six of ten targets and is in 67th position in the final ranking. You have to dig a bit through the statistics to find out when Wierer was last worse in the World Cup: On February 11, 2013, the then 23-year-old Rasnerin came 82nd in the Ruhpolding sprint.

As a result, South Tyrol's best biathlete of all time will also miss the pursuit on Saturday, because only the top 60 qualify for it. But that shouldn't be entirely wrong for Wierer: The 31-year-old can take a breather and recharge her batteries before the competition on Sunday Mass start is coming. There “Doro” leads the rankings and can still grab a crystal ball. Vittozzi in the Wierer role That's probably why she didn't give her last shirt on Friday. Already burdened with three errors after the first shooting, Wierer didn't throw everything into the balance as usual, but instead took things at a more leisurely pace. The 39th running time proves this, because Wierer had actually always done well on skis in the last races.

While the race went downhill for Wierer, another Azzurra had reason to celebrate: Lisa Vittozzi only made one mistake and finished in a strong 11th place. Samuela Comola (38th) and Federica Sanfilippo (54th/Ridnaun) were also able to qualify for the pursuit on Saturday. Røiseland before total triumph The victory on Friday went to the Norwegian Tiril Eckhoff, who is getting better and better at the end of the season. The flawless Austrian Lisa Theresa Hauser took second place, while Marte Olsbu Røiseland took third place. The Norwegian has increased her lead in the overall World Cup and it is only a matter of time before winning the big crystal ball is mathematically determined.
