Azzurra pays 2 shooting errors. In Italy eighth relay race (ANSA)


First triumph of the biathlon season for Marte Olsbu Roeiseland, in the women's pursuit of Hochfilzen (Austria).

The Norwegian, who started fourth after last Friday's sprint test, made two mistakes at the shooting range, but showed a clear superiority on skis, which allowed her to precede the Belarusian Dzinara Alimbekava at the finish line, although perfect with the rifle.

The French Julia Simon completes the podium.

Sixth position for Dorothea Wierer, the best of the blue.


    The World Cup holder remained on the podium for three quarters of the race, a last mistake in the final series (two in total) cut her out of the fight for the top three.

Fifteenth Lisa Vittozzi with three errors.

In the general classification Roeiseland climbs to 271 points, Wierer is fifth with 185.


    In the men's world cup, also in Hochfilzen, Sweden won the men's relay in front and Germany.

Good race for Italy that closes in eighth place with a penalty, 10 reloads and 2 minutes of disadvantage from the winners.
