3.17pm Michela Carrara 29th, confirming the result of the sprint. Of note is the 10 out of 10 standing of the Valle d’Aosta.
3.16pm 17th place for the excellent Samuela Comola, who finished with a solid 19 out of 20 on the range.
3.16pm Eighth place for Lisa Vittozzi, who can regret the mistake on the fifth target of the last shooting range. The podium would have been difficult, but she would have achieved a top 5 finish.
3.14pm CRAZY TANDREVOLD! Last royal lap of the Norwegian, final round which has often been her Achilles heel. The Norwegian beat Elvira Oeberg on the final straight, obtaining third place from bib 17.
3.13pm First victory of the season for Simon, who reaches the finish line with a 19 second margin over Justine Braisaz.
15:13 JULIA SIMON VINCE!
3.12pm Tandrevold responds! Great challenge for third position! Lisa Vittozzi’s gap grows, but she recovers two positions. The blue is seventh.
3.11pm Braisaz has no more. Julia Simon flies towards victory. What Elvira Oeberg is doing in the last round is incredible. The Swede in an amen recovers more than 10 seconds on Preuss and Jeanmonnot, returning to third position.
15:09 The situation after the last shooting range. 10 seconds divide Simon from Braisaz. For third position there is a challenge between the German Preuss, the French Jeanmonnot and the Norwegian Tandrevold.
3.08pm NOOOO! They all make mistakes and incredibly Vittozzi shot for third place. Unfortunately, the Italian missed the last target.
3.07pm A mistake for Simon. What a challenge between the two French rivals!
3.07pm DOUBLE ERROR BY BRAISAZ!
3.06pm Fourth and final shooting range. Match point for Justine Braisaz.
3.05pm Samuela Comola is still doing well, remaining in 16th place after a quick and clean series on her feet.
15:04 Since leaving the shooting range, Braisaz has doubled his advantage over Simon. There are now 20 seconds of margin behind the leader of the general classification.
3.03pm After this mistake, Lisa Vittozzi slipped to seventh place, over twenty seconds from the podium area. Third place now taken by Elvira Oeberg. The Swede on skis has a very different displacement from Richard.
3.02pm Third is an extraordinary and surprising Richard, who continues to be perfect in Oberhog. The French rookie hasn’t made any mistakes yet this weekend.
3.01pm Too bad. Here comes the mistake of Lisa Vittozzi, who watches three Frenchmen run away. Julia Simon’s series was spectacular, she forced herself on skis and obtained a very quick 5 out of 5.
3.00pm First mistake of the match for Braisaz, who forced it despite the 33 second margin at the entrance to the shooting range.
2.59pm Braisaz practically has a margin error when approaching the first series standing at the range.
2.57pm Watch out for Julia Simon. After the error in the opening range the Frenchwoman made no mistakes and returned to the Vittozzi group. Samuela Comola also did well, maintaining 16th place.
2.56pm Elvira Oeberg is also clean and is quicker than Braisaz in completing the series and is 23 seconds behind the leader. Together behind are Vittozzi, the Norwegian Knotten and the French Chauveau and Richard.
2.55pm GOOD LISA VITTOZZI! 10 out of 10 in the series on the floor for the Italian, but the errors can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
2.54pm Justine Braisaz’s solo continues. 10 out of 10 for the Frenchwoman, who continues to fly.
2.53pm Second lap in which Braisaz and Elvira Oeberg travel at a fast pace. Vittozzi slips to seventh position when we are close to the second shooting range.
2.51pm The other Italians. A mistake for Samuela Comola, who occupies 17th place. Three errors from Michela Carrara and two from Auchentaller. Both are in the rear.
2.50pm In second place we find Elvira Oeberg 31 seconds behind Braisaz, then a large group a little further back made up of the Norwegian Knotten, the Italian Vittozzi, the Germans Preuss and Hettich, and the French Chauveau and Richard.
2.49pm FIVE OUT OF FIVE VITTOZZI! The Italian works hard on every shot and climbs up to fifth position. Numerous zeros caught by the protagonists. The certainty is the escape of Braisaz, who boasts over 30 seconds on his pursuers.
2.48pm Impeccable Justine Braisaz, who runs away.
2.46pm The pace of the tandem composed of Simon and Elvira Oeberg is excessive. Lisa wisely lets them go as we approach the first shooting range on the ground.
2.44pm Braisaz continues to gain, while the train made up of Simon, the Swede Elvira Oeberg and Vittozzi travels at the same pace as the leader.
2.43pm Immediately high pace for Justine Braisaz, who doubles her lead over German Franziska Preuss and compatriot Sophie Chauveau. The Frenchwoman boasts an advantage of over 8 seconds over her pursuers. Vittozzi wisely lets himself be caught by the Transalpine Julia Simon, remaining in seventh place.
2.42pm Departure one after another. The three blues are involved in the first of the 5 laps. Soon the first intermediate will give us the first indications on the pace of the athletes.
THE CHASE RACE BEGINS!
2.38pm Spectacular crowd as usual in the Thuringian town. We remind you that the two relays are scheduled for tomorrow. Team trials that will close the program.
2.35pm As usual, the Oberhof shooting range is one of the most feared on the circuit. In fact, the route features continuous ups and downs, interspersed with flats where you have to work and push. Components that will make tests at the range more difficult.
2.31pm France yesterday placed 5 athletes in the top ten, with the surprises Sophie Chauveau and Jeanne Richard third and eighth respectively. Norway is in difficulty, with only Knotten obtaining a notable placing, namely sixth.
2.28pm In the general classification, after yesterday’s sprint, Braisaz has moved further ahead of her competitors. The Frenchwoman boasts 517 points, with a 76-point margin over Norwegian Tandrevold. Vittozzi is fourth with 422 points.
2.24pm Lisa Vittozzi attempts a comeback from the podium. Yesterday the Italian reached the finish line 31 seconds behind the transalpine leader. Samuela Comola and Michela Carrara instead try to reconfirm themselves largely in the points.
2.21pm Good afternoon and welcome back to the written LIVE LIVE of the Oberhof women’s pursuit. In just under 20 minutes the race will start with the athletes starting with the gaps that Braisaz inflicted in the sprint.
Good morning and welcome to LIVE textual LIVE of the women’s pursuit in Oberhof, a stage valid for the Biathlon World Cup. Having overcome the critical issues of the day before, the event in Thuringia offered a rather expensive sprint, with the French dictating the law with 5 athletes in the top ten. It will be difficult to undermine the transalpine dominance even in the pursuit, but among the hunters there are several biathletes capable of entering the fight for the podium and success.
Among these is ours Lisa Vittozziwho will start from seventh position just over thirty seconds behind the pace Justine Braisaz-Bouchet. The latter, leader of the general classification, will start 4 seconds ahead of the German Franziska Preuss and her compatriot Sophie Chauveau, who achieved the first podium of her career yesterday. Also worth considering for the podium are the Swede Anna Magnusson and the Norwegian Karoline Knotten. Both will start less than 30 seconds behind the winner of the sprint. On the other hand, the trio made up of the French Lou Jeanmonnot and Julia Simon, and the Swedish Elvira Oeberg is scary. Ready to go, a train of huntresses will form immediately behind Vittozzi.
Let us remember that Dorothea Wierer did not take part in the Italian expedition to Thuringia. The South Tyrolean champion wants to improve her form in view of the Anterselva event and the Nove Mesto World Championships. For Italy, in addition to Lisa Vittozzi, Samuela Comola, the returning Michela Carrara and the young Hannah Auchentaller will also be at the start. The Aosta Valley teams will start from 14th and 29th place respectively. Beatrice Trabucchi and Rebecca Passler are outside the top 60.
The women’s pursuit in Oberhof will start at 2.40 pm. It will be possible to follow the event live on TV on Eurosport, and in streaming on Eurosport.it, NOW and DAZN. OA Sport will offer you LIVE LIVE written minute by minute of the race. Have fun and go blue!
