Tandrevold won the Sprint World Cup.
Janina Hettich-Walz shows a strong race in seventh place, all other DSV women reach her pursuer on Saturday
Race:
Julia Kink persevered and crossed the finish line in 50th place.
So we'll see them again in the chase on Saturday.
Race:
Even if Vittozzi comes very close to her in the overall World Cup, Tandrevold has reason to be happy.
She will most likely win the sprint classification.
Race:
Kink returns to the track in 52nd place.
The top 60 reach the pursuer.
This will be a feat of strength.
Race:
Julia Kink is standing shooting.
The first four discs fall.
Then she misfires, which throws her off course.
The last shot misses.
Race:
Vittozzi will win, Tandrevold is currently only 16th. As of now, Vittozzi would have caught up with a whopping 65 points and would be only eight points behind the Norwegian.
Race:
A German one is still on the track.
Julia Kink comes to the first shooting.
It starts with a mistake, all other shots are fired.
She returns to the track in 58th place and has to worry about her pursuer.
Race:
Johanna Puff finishes in 26th place.
That was a decent race, we'll see them again in the pursuit.
Race:
Selina Grotian is at the finish and shows us another strong race today.
With one penalty she is initially 15th.
Race:
After her penalty loop, Johanna Puff hits everything while standing.
This means she will reach the top 60 chaser.
Race:
Grotian now has to cope with a penalty lap while standing.
She returns to the track in 18th place and is in line with Schneider and Voigt.
Race:
The young Austrian Anna Gandler passes Hettich-Walz.
Tandrevold is only 14th at the finish.
She will lose a lot of points to Vittozzi today.
We'll have to wait and see whether it's enough to win the sprint classification.
It's going to be very tight today.
Braisaz-Bouchet is eighth.
Race:
Janina Hettich-Walz has reached the finish line.
The Black Forest woman is in sixth place, which was a strong performance.
This also makes the starting position for the pursuer excellent.
Race:
Selina Grotian is getting better and better.
She starts lying down without any mistakes and is initially in 15th place.
Johanna Puff starts with a penalty and is behind.
That's not a good start.
Race:
Wow!
Vittozzi worked magic on the final lap and took the lead.
At the same time, Tandrevold also has to go into the penalty loop standing.
Vittozzi will catch up on a lot of points today.
Race:
Vanessa Voigt put in a strong final lap and thus still has a reasonable starting position for her pursuer.
Hettich-Walz also hits everything while standing, but needed a lot of time at the shooting range.

Vittozzi is third after the second shooting.
With a good final round she can win.
Those would be big points in the fight for the overall World Cup.

Yes, the Italian beats everything standing and will finish ahead of Tandrevold and Braisaz-Bouchet.
It remains a thriller for the overall World Cup.

Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold is fighting for overall victory.
She has to absorb a penalty lap while lying down.
Race:
Janina Hettich-Walz hit everything lying down, and that's fine in terms of running too.
This is initially the eighth rank.
Race:
Vanessa Voigt lost a lot on the track and now has two penalty laps.
That won't be a good result today and therefore a bad basis for the pursuer on Saturday.
Race:
Lena Häcki-Groß remains clean and will achieve a strong result.
She is only 1.3 seconds behind Jeanmonnot.
Race:
It's quick and easy.
Schneider hits everything while standing.

She hits everything, the standard is incredibly high here.

Finally winter again, that's what the biathletes here in Canada are thinking.
The thermometer shows minus 4.5 degrees, the sun is shining and it is dry.

Before the race:
Others are favorites to win in Canmore.
Justine Braisaz-Bouchet opens the race and is one of the top candidates for victory.

Six German women are tackling this race.
Sophia Schneider has start number 3, Vanessa Voigt has 10, Janina Hettich-Walz has 26, Selina Grotian has 47, Johanna Puff has 50 and Julia Kink has 84.
