It\u2019s them again: Dorothea Wierer and Lisa Vittozzi. The \u201cazzurre\u201d were the protagonists of the
\nItalian stage of the IBU World Cup, held in Antholz from 19 to 22 January in a packed stadium.<\/p>\n
On the first day of competition, Dorothea Wierer showed off a super performance winning the
\nSprint race: the Italian was strong on skis and made no mistakes at the shooting range, proving her
\ncrystal-clear class once again but also all her experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m really very happy with my performance at the shooting range on a very difficult day because of
\nthe wind, which could have created a lot of troubles – said Dorothea Wierer on the top of the
\npodium – I tried to control every shot, I achieved this victory thanks to the quality of Fiocchi
\nammunitions, a guarantee of absolute reliability and precision even in very difficult weather
\nconditions.<\/p>\n
In the Pursuit race, Lisa Vittozzi was the absolute protagonist: the athlete from Sappada started
\nfrom the 13th place and was author of an amazing comeback that allowed her to win the silver
\nmedal. The performance at the shooting range made the difference also in this race: Lisa didn\u2019t
\nmake any mistake, recovering eleven places and climbing on the second step of the Antholz
\npodium.<\/p>\n
“I ran a perfect race and I’m really happy with how I handled my performance – said Vittozzi – Last
\nyear, here in Antholz, I was really struggling, but this is the proof that everything is possible in
\nbiathlon, by working hard and never giving up.<\/p>\n
In addition to Dorothea and Lisa’s medals, the Italian stage saw good placings for the Italian
\nnational team supported by Fiocchi Munizioni: Tommaso Giacomel finished the Sprint race in the
\n7th place, the women’s relay finished 4th and the men’s one finished 5th.<\/p>\n
The international biathlon spotlights move now on Oberhof (GER), where the World
\nChampionships will be held from 8 to 19 February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
