South Tyrol's relay runners impress at the Biathlon Italian Cup

The local relay teams left a really strong impression and were in brilliant shape a week before the Youth World Championships in Nove Mesto. In the boys' category, Samuel Mussner, Maikol Demetz and Benjamin Plaickner won, while in the girls' category, Alexia Runggaldier as the starting runner with Federica Sanfilippo and final runner Dorothea Wierer took a dominant victory. Wierer skipped the World Cup races in Antholz in order to put the finishing touches on himself in Ridnaun for the World Cup in the Czech Republic. The six South Tyrolean participants in the Youth World Championships will set off for Nove Mesto on Wednesday, where they will fight for medals from Saturday.

On Sunday in the converted biathlon center in Ridnaun, Carmen Runggaldier from Val Gardena secured the Italian mass start championship titles in the school girls' race and Dominik Windisch in the men's race.
