Lisa Vittozzi won the Canmore sprint by forcevalid proof for the Biathlon World Cup 2023-2024. The champion from Sappada signed a great performance on the range, covered the ten targets and was very fast in the 7.5 km on cross-country skis, deserving the success with a 5.5 second advantage over the French Lous Jeanmonnot, 8.6 over the Swiss Lisa Haecki and 19.4 on the other transalpine Julia Simon. The Italian achieved her third success of the season in the top international traveling circuit (she won the individual in Oestersund in November and in the pursuit of Ruhpolding in January) and has completely reopened the conversation for the conquest of the general Crystal Ball.
Lisa Vittozzi had in fact shown up in Canada with a 73 points behind the Norwegian Ingrid Tandrevold. The disadvantage was large with just three races left in the season, but our standard bearer has practically mended the tear, given that the Scandinavian has literally sunk in today’s match. The leader of the ranking made two shooting errors and he finished in 17th place with a delay of 1’01”, seeing almost all of the advantage eaten up by our standard bearer.
Lisa Vittozzi has in fact forfeited 90 points with today’s statement, while Ingrid Tandrevold only took home 24. The 29-year-old has so earned 66 points in one fell swoop and moved to -7 behind the Norwegian. The World Champion in the individual, as well as world champion in the pursuit and mass start, will start ahead of everyone in Saturday’s pursuit and has all it takes to overtake Tandrevold. But also pay attention to the French: Justine Braisaz-Bouchet is -68 behind Vittozzi, Julia Simon at -73, Lou Jeanmonnot at -78. It will then probably be the mass start on Sunday that will decide everything.
