Standing shooting is “Doro’s” downfall

Kaisa Mäkäräinen circled alone at the front from the start and was over a minute ahead of the rest of the field in her start-to-finish victory. Second and third places were therefore fought over from the start, with Dorothea Wierer, who had created a good starting position for the pursuit on Sunday with 5th place in the sprint on Saturday, holding the best cards for a long time. The ski hunter from Niederrasen was in second place after the first two prone events and was now over ten seconds ahead of her opponents. But then “Doro” made a mistake in each of the two standing attempts, lost his concept and in the end had no strength left to stand up to her competitors on the cross-country ski trail, who were also not flawless. In the end, Wierer came 7th.

Gabriela Koukalova took second place with two “tickets” and one minute behind, followed by Marie Dorin Habert (3 errors) and Laura Dahlmeier (4 errors).

Alexia Runggaldier with the best result of the season Lisa Vittozzi's performance was strong, as she gained 17 positions and ended up in 10th place. Alexia Runggaldier also cut a good figure, starting the race in 24th place and finishing 19th thanks to a solid shooting performance (only one mistake). For the woman from Val Gardena it was the best placement of the season in an individual race. Federica Sanfilippo was unable to capitalize on her good starting position after the sprint (20th) and fell back to 35th place with four shooting errors.
