Wierer has his sights set on the overall World Cup

There, the fight for third place guarantees a lot of excitement for the women. While Anastasiya Kuzmina seems unassailable at the top, three ski hunters, Darya Domracheva (641 points), Laura Dahlmeier (615) and Dorothea Wierer (600), are vying for third place on the podium behind Kaisa Mäkäräinen.

Wierer also has a minimal chance of winning the small crystal ball in the Pursuit World Cup, where she is 24 points behind Kuzmina in second place. As a reminder: The winner of a World Cup race receives 60 points, the second-placed 54 and the third 48.

Johannes Thingnes Bø also knows the numbers, who, 49 points behind, needs a medium-sized miracle to push the French series winner and multiple Olympic champion Martin Fourcade from first place.

The men start in Tyuman on Thursday with a sprint race. The women will follow on Friday on the short distance. The two pursuit competitions are on the program on Saturday before the season ends on Sunday with the mass starts.

No boycott of the “Azzurri” In addition to Wierer, Lisa Vittozzi, Thomas Bormolini and the two Pusterers Dominik Windisch and Lukas Hofer are at the start for Italy at the last World Cup stage.

They all decided not to boycott the final stage - unlike numerous biathletes from Canada, the Czech Republic, the USA and Sweden, who are not traveling to Siberia and taking part in the competitions in the brand new biathlon center due to the Russian doping scandal.
