Ridnaun: Nothing can be achieved without Sanfilippo

The women's mass start 60 was decided at the shooting range. Guigonnat was the only one in the top six without a miss. At the last standing stage she overtook Anamarija Lampic, who had been leading until then. The Slovenian was a cross-country skier in the World Cup until last season, but this summer she decided to switch to biathlon. Although she gave it her all on the last lap, Guigonnat was able to manage her lead and crossed the finish line nine seconds ahead of Lampic. The Swede Tilda Johansson came third ahead of another Frenchwoman, Fany Bertrand, and the two Germans Vanessa Hinz and Juliane Frühwirt. The Italian team had to make do without local hero Federica Sanfilippo, who was out due to illness. But three “Azzurre” were in the top 20. Beatrice (13th) and Martina Trabucchi (19th) showed a strong performance on the shooting range, Michela Carrara (20th) struggled with her final result after six errors. Sara Scattolo (37th) and Eleonora Fauner (44th) had just as many missed shots. Unsurpassable Norwegians also in the mass start The Norwegian men's team says goodbye to Ridnaun with a total of six podium places in the three competitions. The Scandinavians couldn't be beaten in the mass start either, but another Norwegian was the winner for the third time. Martin Uldal was outstanding at the shooting range (a missed shot at the last stop) and on the cross-country ski trail and reached the finish with a lead of over half a minute over his compatriot Erlend Bjoentegaard. Lucas Fratzscher, a German, took third place. He is also the only one in the top six who is not from Norway. Martin Nevland, Aleksander Fjeld Andersen and Endre Stroemsheim follow Fratzscher. As with the pursuer the day before, Daniele Cappellari made it into the top 10 again in tenth place. Nicola Romanin also had a strong day, making only two mistakes at the shooting range and finishing in 18th place. Michele Molinari (34th), Iacopo Leonesio (42nd) and Elia Zeni (49th) finished the race in contrast to Cedric Christille, who had to give up after the first shooting due to a rifle defect. " The sweet spot was Fedi’s successes.” With these results, the IBU Cup in Ridnaun comes to an end. The organizers could hardly be happier: “The board has been rejuvenated and yet it worked just as flawlessly as in previous years,” says race director Manuel Volgger. “We didn't have a single incident, everything went as expected. The sweet treat was Fedi's successes (Federica Sanfilippo, editor's note). She grew up with our club, so a home win like this is the best thing that can happen for her, but also for us. We were all happy for her and with her.” The biathletes now go into the Christmas break before the IBU Cup continues with the third station on January 5th in Brezno-Osrblie, Slovakia. The international biathlon scene will return to Ridnaun in December 2023. The IBU Junior Cup will take place in the Wipptal side valley from December 11th to 17th, before the IBU Cup returns to the Ridnaun Biathlon Center from January 8th to 13th. The winners' voices: Martin Uldal (Norway): “Today I felt really good from the start and everything worked out for me in the race as I planned. Only the last shot missed, but I'm very happy with everything - running and shooting. We Norwegians have a great team, on the one hand we are competitors, but on the other hand we are all friends. We help and motivate each other.” Gilonne Guigonnat (France): “This is my first victory in the IBU Cup, I’m very happy about that. I did a great job shooting today and my speed on the track was also good. So I was able to keep Lampic away from me, who I wouldn't have had a chance against on the cross-country ski trail. I’m happy that it worked out so well.” IBU Cup in Ridnaun, top 6 mass start women: 1.Gilonne Guigonnat (France) 35.29,8´9 minutes / 0 misses 2.Anamarija Lampic (Slovenia) +9,0 seconds / 5 3.Tilda Johansson (Sweden) +40,7 / 1 4.Fany Bertrand (France) +45,0 / 1 5.Vanessa Hinz (Germany) +46,2 / 4 6.Juliane Frühwirt (Germany) +46,2 / 1 IBU Cup in Ridnaun, top 6 mass start men: 1.Martin Uldal (Norway) 37.43,9:1 minutes / XNUMX miss 2.Erlend Bjoentegaard (Norway) +34,2 / 3 3.Lucas Fratzscher (Germany) +45,4 / 3 4.Martin Nevland (Norway) +55,2 / 2 5.Aleksander Fjeld Andersen (Norway) +1.03,5:3 minutes / XNUMX 6.Endre Stroemsheim (Norway) +1.14,3 / 5
