Wierer feels Vittozzi's breath in the Olympic venue

After Lisa Vittozzi's third place in the individual in Canmore, Dorothea Wierer's lead over her teammate in the overall World Cup has shrunk further. The South Tyrolean currently has 651 points to her name and is therefore “only” five points ahead of Vittozzi. Since the two weakest results are deleted at the end of the season, the current strange virtual situation arises in which both are tied: Wierer would be deleted 36 points for a 22nd and a 24th place, while Vittozzi would get 31 points for an 18th place. and a 27th place.

The third-placed World Cup winner, Anastasiya Kuzmina, is currently 111 points behind Wierer. The Norwegian Marte Olsbu Røiseland is only three points behind. Slovakian Paulina Fialkova is currently in fifth place with 526 points (125 points behind Wierer). It will be exciting to see whether the pursuers can get close to the “Azzurre” again with three remaining World Cup stops (Salt Lake City, the World Cup in Östersund and the World Cup final in Oslo).

Recently in Canmore it was so cold that even the sprint races had to be canceled. There could also be snow or rain in Salt Lake City in the next few days. However, temperatures should not drop to as low as -20 degrees, as in Canmore.

Windisch wants to show strong form For the men, Dominik Windisch didn't get off to a good start this season. At least since the home race in Antholz, where he finished in the top ten for the first time, Windisch has found his old strength again. The 29-year-old from Rasen recently finished fifth in Canmore and was able to fight his way up to 27th place in the overall World Cup.
