Second in the mass start, four medals in Anterselva (ANSA)


A silver to close a fairytale world championship. Dorothe Wierer is unlikely to forget the world championship in Anterselva: in front of the home crowd, the queen of blue biathlon took another silver, finishing as she had started: second in the mass start and four medals in the assets, with two special golds. In the race that ended the world only the Norwegian Mars Roeiseland managed to do better after a duel that lasted up to a few meters from the finish. It is silver for the national Dorothea that comes out of this world with one certainty: it is among the largest ever in winter sports. The trio of gold faded briefly, but it is not a time for regrets: the 29 year old from the Fiamme Gialle managed to get on the podium again after a great comeback, to which she was forced due to an error in the first shooting series. Slowly Wierer went up and returned with the best, even managing to come out first after the last polygon. She makes a mistake, Oeberg and Simon, however, do worse: yet another feat seems within reach, but here comes Roeiseland. The Norwegian, delayed by 14 "4 is overcome on skis and takes the top with great strength. Dorothea tries to fight but tiredness is felt: she is second. The public welcomes her at the finish with a well deserved ovation." This world championship is passed quickly, I still have not realized that it is finished - says the blue champion - I did not think that the world championship was going so well ". But there is little to rest, because in the view of the biathlete there are other goals." Already next week will be full of commitments, I will have a lot to do but I will try to rest as much as possible - says Dorothea -. I have to stay at my best to try to win the general classification but there is still a lot of competition. Now I will go home to detach also mentally, next Monday we will leave for the Czech Republic. It was not easy to manage the pressure and all the commitments that the World Cup game brings you at home, after the first gold I took a burden doing the World Cup that I wanted from the beginning. I'm sorry for today because I had run out of energy, it's a pity for the mistake made in the last polygon before the finish. Roeiseland made zero and therefore came out full load, I tried to do my best. "Four medals, two special golds: the world championship in Anterselva made the star Wierer shine.
