Auchentaller speaks English without the usual hard German accent for Sud-Tirolers? Dominik Windisch could never...

See, it is like Belgium - you can never tell anyone’s mother tongue just from their name.

It could be worse, Schweiz-German is somewhat strange on the ear and I say this as someone living in Oberschlesien

This gold for Italy  was amazing to see. I am a french supporter in this sport, but italian women's team made great job today. Congratulation for our italian friends here.

What did Lampič do wrong? Our girls would have finished 9th which would gave them valuable nations cups points for next season.

by the way, I'm still shocked by this result...I didn't really expect Comola and Auchentaller to perform like they did today...

 

and actually, I didn't expect even Vittozzi to blow Herrmann out like she did in the last shooting session.

 

congrats to all of our girls...thanks for this great afternoon...my cardiologist couldn't be happier... 

 

now I hope this race gives all of our youngsters a new perspective and represents a boost to their effort to improve more and more on their weak side (definitely not the shooting, let's say).

It turns out she only used two spare rounds on the standing shoot. Automatic 2 min penalty IIRC.
