Wierer beaten for the first time in the sprint

At the first shooting in the pouring rain, the overall World Cup leader presented herself as accurately as possible, but she was already more than 1 seconds behind the top runners. When it came to the standing position, it was finally Wierer's fate: she collected two shooting errors and had to miss valuable time in the penalty loop. In the end, the Pusterian, who has been so outstanding so far this season, took 10nd place. Nevertheless, she remains in the lead in both the discipline rankings and the overall World Cup.

Italy without a top ten placement Not only Wierer has a mammoth task waiting for her on Saturday (15 p.m.) due to the considerable gap in the pursuit, but her teammate and long-term rival Lisa Vittozzi didn't fare much better either. She took 15th place after one penalty. There was nothing to gain for Federica Sanfilippo from Wipptal, who made three mistakes at the shooting range and was unable to qualify for the pursuit competition in 3th place, as was Nicole Gontier from Aostan (69rd). Eckhoff celebrates his 2nd win of the season The day's victory in the French Alps was secured by Norwegian Tiril Eckhoff, who climbed onto the individual podium for the third time this season. The 3-year-old from Oslo made a shooting error, but still kept all of her competitors at a distance. The most dangerous were local hero Justine Braisaz and the equally flawless Marketa Davidova from the Czech Republic, who took second and third place.
