World Biathlon Championships: no individual for Dorothea Wierer
There comes another forfeit for Dorothea Wierer at the Biathlon World Championships 2025. After skipping the 10-kilometer pursuit, in fact, the Italian biathlete will also skip the 15-kilometer individual due to a nagging cold that she reportedly has not yet fully recovered.
In Lenzerheide, therefore, as reported by FISI, for Italy will take to the track a Michela Carrara in great form as evidenced by her fifth and eighth place finishes in the sprint and pursuit, respectively, Samuela Comola in her official World Championships debut, Hannah Auchentaller and Martina Trabucchi, who will replace the South Tyrolean gold medal winner in the individual as Anterselva 2020.
The Azzurra's hope would be to fully recover the best possible condition for the team event, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025.
FISI, in addition, also announced the blue and blue athletes who will take part in the Youth/Junior categories, scheduled from February 24 to March 5 on the snows of Oestersund.
