Wierer in Top 10

Ninth place despite two errors for Dorothea Wierer who in the sprint in Hochfilzen (Austria) was confirmed in excellent condition, in the race won by German Franziska Preuss (0-1) after 21’06″0 of effort with a margin of 7″7 over French Sophie Chaveau (0-0) and 10’1 over Norwegian Karoline Knotten (0-0) who thus completed the podium.

After a perfect first part of the race, the double mistake in the second polygon slowed down Wierer (0-2) who still managed to enter the top ten, with a delay of 40″2, maintaining good ambitions ahead of the chase scheduled tomorrow, in light also of the convincing physical condition.

Hannah Auchentaller’s performance was also very good, who with no mistakes on the shot got a 12th place at 44″7 from Preuss to get the best result of her career in the top circuit. Also entering the points zone were Michela Carrara (1-1), 28th at 1’09″6, and Samuela Comola (0-1), 35th at 1’23″1, with sisters Beatrice Trabucchi (1-0, +1’48″5, 50th) and Martina Trabucchi (2-0, +1’55″9, 55th) also managing to get a pass for the pursuit.

Important in this sense was the team result with all six athletes qualified for the pursuit scheduled from 12:15 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14.
