Wierer with a furious comeback: only the crowning glory is missing

After Friday's botched sprint, Wierer had to start the pursuit on Saturday afternoon from 22nd position and a good one and a half minutes behind, but fought his way forward in an impressive manner and ended up in 4th place. The 29th man missed the podium. year olds 12 seconds.

In terms of pure racing time, Wierer would have won the competition. A downside: “Doro” had to give up the yellow jersey of the overall World Cup leader to the Norwegian Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold. However, the gap is only 3 points.

From 22 to 4 In wonderful weather, the Puster woman immediately stepped on the accelerator on Saturday and presented herself outstandingly, especially on the shooting range: thanks to extremely fast and error-free performances, Wierer made up position after position. Last year's overall World Cup winner only left one of the 20 targets standing.

After the fourth and final shooting, the racer suddenly found herself in 4th place and went into the final lap 4 seconds behind Lena Häcki, who was third. But Wierer didn't have the strength for a final attack, which is why she crossed the finish line in 4th place. Despite narrowly missing out on the podium, a great performance from Wierer.
