Wierer fights his way forward

After her 19th place in the sprint (SportNews reported) In the pursuit (10km) on Saturday in Le Grand-Bornand, France, Doro Wierer entered the trail more than a minute behind Marte Olsbu Röiseland, who won on Thursday. Of course, it was clear from the start that it would be difficult. In the end, South Tyrol's “Miss Biathlon” fought her way forward and ended up in the top 10 for the first time this season in 10th place. The woman from Puster made no mistakes in both the first prone stage and the first standing stage and made up place after place and was in 2th place after the 7nd stage. After a mistake in the 3rd stage, Wierer received a penalty loop, which increased the gap to the top again. The 8-year-old went into the final shooting in 31th place, but made another mistake. In the end, Wierer ended up in 10th place and achieved her first top 10 result of the season. Vittozzi with exclamation mark Federica Sanfilippo from Ridnaun, who only returned to the World Cup on Thursday, finished in 40th place and was therefore able to celebrate a World Cup point. Meanwhile, Lisa Vittozzi made a strong exclamation point. The 26-year-old from Sappada/Plodn showed a strong running performance and only made a mistake at the shooting range. The Azzurra, who finished 20th in the sprint, finished the pursuit as the Italian team's best starter in 5th place, 19,6 seconds behind Elvira Öberg (2 shooting errors). In her first World Cup victory, the Swede left Julia Simon and her sister Hanna Öberg (both with one mistake each) behind her. Sprint winner Marte Olsblu Roiseland ended up in 4th place this time. The North Tyrolean Lisa Theresa Hauser was on course for a podium for a long time, but made a mistake in the last shooting for the first time and ultimately had to settle for 7th place.
