So, Wierer rested for MS tomorrow and fight for overall? While poor Vittozzi had to ski today?

 

Naughty.

But Wierer also competed in the single mixed relay. And the staff let Vittozzi skip the relay in Ruhpolding to rest for the MS the following day so it makes sense to let Wierer do the same today if she wanted to.
