Lisa Vittozzi breaks the silence and takes stock of the situation after what happened. Undoubtedly, she is the great absentee of the Biathlon World Cup 2024-2025. The Sappadina was forced to jump the three stages of 2024 and we hope to find the way back to it fourth meeting in Oberhof (Germany)in program from 9 to 12 January.
The cause of these defections is to be found in a back problem, apparently caused by a training accident. The holder of the Crystal Ball (general ranking) has decided to give priority to physical recovery, not speeding up the time to return to the top international circuit. Renunciations that clearly cut the Italian off from winning the record.
Well, Lisa wrote a post on Instagram, where the situation is understood: “Hi everyone. I’ve been away for some time but as you know, it’s been a very difficult two months for my health. It wasn’t easy to give up racing, and it was even harder to accept it, but this time I had to listen to my body. I’m fighting, doing my best, to be able to feel good again and do what I love again. Thanks to those who have been close to me, supported and comforted during these months. We will see each other soon“.
At this point, we will see when the return will materialize in the event also mentioned, thinking about what the objective of this season is, namely the World Championships in Lenzerheide (Switzerland), scheduled for 12 to 23 February 2025.
