Biathlon, Vittozzi wins the individual world cup. But Wierer triumphs in Sweden

Lisa Vittozzi won the pursuit world cup biathlon. Leader of the standings with 15 points ahead of the Swede Hanna Oeberg, in Oestersund (Sweden) placed a 20 out of 20 at the shooting range. However, Vittozzi had to surrender to an extraordinary one Dorothea Wierervery fast and also perfect at shooting, two lying down and two standing.

Vittozzi raced with fast skis and great attention: his goal was to race on the results of Oebeeg, not perfect shooting with 3 errors and immediately out of the race. But the 41’19” clocked by Wierer, in his sixth career individual victory, was too much for the sappadina who also controlled the French Simon nibbling away at her points in the general classification of the World Cup, in which she is now second. An unforgettable day, therefore, for Italy: first Wierer, second Vittozzi at 25″ who won his second World Cup after the one in 2019.
