Three-way last shooting for the win in women's pursuit...

Vittozzi vs Magnusson will ski it out. Jeanmonnot bottled it with two misses...

[Monzanator 4,774]

Vittozzi wins. Magnusson 2nd. Kirkeeide 3rd despite three misses. JBB & E.Oeberg also passed Bened late.

 

 Ermits 20/20 and takes 8th place!

4 straight podiums, not counting the relay win, for 30 year old and 153cm long Anna Magnusson who had 2 podiums overall in her career before 😱

Got the full results updated back in Post 2.  Whereas the Men's relay podium was the same, the Women's podium was completely different.  (And the  men were 4th!)    C'mon fellas!

Off we go in Le Grand Bornand.  Sadly not huge amounts of snow, but tracks look OK.  Big crowds.

Looks like  get a Top 10 finish with Deedra Irwin!    One day...maybe...we can medal in this event!

Despite everything, Vittozzi shouldn't lose to Wierer on the skies run... I hope Lisa improves her ski run in January, because if she wants to be in contention for medals in the sprint, she needs to finish at least 7th or 8th, not 14th like she did today. Today, Lisa had a terrible second round- what happened there?

 

Passler is showing some progress, but still only 48th in the overall standings. Comola, unfortunately, isn't run on skies well enough to make anything succes in the sport, and that won't change. Carrara and Auchentaller, who were in their good form last year, are the most miss for us now. As of today, aside from Vittozzi and Wierer, the rest of the Italian squad has had a very poor start to the season: in almost every case, a significant regression, with the exception of Passler. If the 3rd best Italian in the general classification - Passler - is in 48th place, it means that something is not right
