Moriggl and Clara defend the Italian championship title in the relay

Thomas Moriggl from Schlinig and Roland Clara from Reischach, together with their teammates Giovanni Gullo and Christian Zorzi, won the gold medal over 4 x 7,5 km. At the beginning the army sports group was in the lead, but after a great comeback from Clara, final runner Cristian Zorzi secured the victory for the finance guard.

In a total time of 1:21,26 hours, the winning quartet relegated the Carabinieri sports group with David Hofer (St. Christina), Giorgio Di Centa, Fabrizio Clementi and Fabio Santus to second place. Bronze went to the forest guard. Dietmar Nöckler and the army sports group, however, missed the podium by four seconds.

In the women's race (3 x 5 km), victory also went to the Finanzwacht, for which Francesca Baudin, Lucia Scardoni and Veronica Cavallar were sent into the race. Silver went to the forest guard (Antonella Confortola, Virginia De Martin Topranin and Marina Piller), bronze went to the state police squadron, for which Barbara Antonelli from Bolzano was also at the start alongside Ilaria De Bertolis and Sara Pellegrin. Debora Agreiter, who initially took the lead for the Carabinieri sports group as the starting runner, ultimately had to settle for fourth place together with Gaia Vuerich and Debora Roncari.

Tomorrow, Riale di Formazza will be all about young cross-country skiers, while the races will end on Sunday with the 30 km women's competition and the men's 50 km competition.
