2.19pm: Many absent, five: Kink, Heijdenberg, Baserga, Jislova and Gasparin. Tandrevold and Davidova are also missing
2.17pm: Dorothea Wierer is called upon to have a quality weekend, especially in shooting because in recent weeks they have said that she is competitive on skis but the podium was missing above all due to the lack of precision on the shooting range. The Italian risks ending 2024 without podiums in the World Cup and it would be the first time in a long time. The possibility of seeing her among the top three positions on French snow, however, exists and the Italian will not lack commitment and determination. Italy is missing, hopefully for the last time, Lisa Vittozzi, and therefore in the race there will be Dorothea Wierer, Hannah Auchentaller, Michela Carrara, Samuela Comola and Martina Trabucchi.
2.15pm: Simon, Braisaz, Wierer herself, Tandrevold, Voigt and, should she return, Davidova too could fit into the important positions in the ranking.
2.12pm: The race for the World Cup is obviously still very open and not only to the athletes who currently lead the rankings, Preuss, Jeanmonnot, E. Oeberg the top three.
14.09: So far the two sprints contested have issued partly unexpected verdicts even if the two winners, the Czech Marketa Davidova and the German Franziska Preuss, are anything but surprised given that they have also won in the past in this format. The fact remains that neither France, nor Norway, nor Italy, nor Sweden, the leading nations of recent seasons, have yet won in this format this season and therefore will try to obtain their first success of the season.
14.06: The transalpine resort is trying to become a permanent fixture on the top circuit, which only arrived on these snows in recent times. In 2024 the Haute-Savoie range will host events valid for the Crystal Ball for the sixth time in history, after having already done so in 2013, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022.
2.03pm: The third stage of the biathlon World Cup also opens for the women after Uldal’s surprise success yesterday in the men’s race, with a very important race for the development of the season, both of the Cup itself and of the Italian team which is still chasing the first podium of the season.
2.00pm: Good morning and welcome to the LIVE LIVE of the women’s sprint, over the distance of 7.5 km, scheduled in Le Grand Bornand, the second race of the third stage of the 2024-2025 Women’s World Cup.
Good morning and welcome to the LIVE LIVE of the women’s sprint, over the distance of 7.5 km, scheduled in Le Grand Bornand, second race of the third stage of the 2024-2025 Women’s World Cup. After the surprise success of Uldal yesterday in the men’s race, the third stage of the biathlon World Cup also opens for women with a very important race for the development of the season both of the Cup itself and of the Italian team which is still hunting for the first podium of the season.
The transalpine resort is trying to become a permanent fixture on the top circuit, which only arrived on these snows in recent times. In 2024 the Haute-Savoie range will host events valid for the Crystal Ball for sixth time in history, after having already done so in 2013, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022. Just two years ago, the competitions were characterized by anomalous situations linked to the track, dynamics which had already occurred previously. The organization is also close to a final exam, since it Sylvie Becaert biathlon stadium is destined to be the location of the Olympic Games 2030. There are just over five years to go and we will need to be ready for the most prestigious event of all in winter sports.
