Unfortunately Wierer has been sick all the time since last year. She misses an average of 2-3 weeks per season due to illness. I don't know if this can be solved in any way during the Olympic season? Immunity medications, isolation from other people during the season?
I don't know what will happen with Vittozzi. However, the completly miss of starts throughout the all season will be a problem for her. Especially since a lot of younger rivals have appeared since last year.

Doro Wierer won't start Tomorrow in the women's Mass Start Race
Thursday and Today's efforts have shown that she hasn't recovered yet from the illness she got just before the start of the world champs
p.s. Lisa Vittozzi won't comeback to Biathlon World Cup for this season, but she's back on her skis and she looks fine, as last week she competed (hidden among the amateurs) in a long distance cross country race
good news in perspective 2026
top of day #1
5km Race Walking: Francesco Fortunato wins the race in a new world record time of 17.55.65 (previous WR held by Mikhail Schennikov since February, 1995 with 18.07.08; previous NR held by Athens 2004 20km Olympic Champion Ivano Brugnetti in 18.08.86)
men's High Jump: 2024 junior world silver medallist Matteo Sioli improves to 2.28m to win the competition on the last jump against Manuel Lando (2.26m at the 1st attempt, while Sioli did it at the 2nd, so he needed to clear a better hight to win)
men's Long Jump: 16-year young Daniele Inzoli wins with a 7.93m jump (U-18 NR, 6th European U-18 all time)
women's Long Jump: just an ordinary 6.69m jump was enough for Larissa Iapichino to take another Italian title at home
looking at Tomorrow, men's Shot Put and women's 60m should be the highlight of the day, with both men and women's 400m also to be taken into consideration
Modern day biathlon fans will never believe, that Norway didn't win a men's relay at the WCH from 1969 all the way to 2005. A completely clinical performance from the whole team as i've ever seen.
11th title for them, but still trailing Russia's 14. Out of those 11, Tarej Boe has been part of 7, which is a new record.
