INFO – Denise Herrmann-Wick is aiming for second pursuit gold

Second was the Norwegian Tiril Eckhoff, who is not at the World Championships this year. Bronze went to Laura Dahlmeier.

INFO – Lisa Vittozzi and Elvira Öberg will not start

There was a setback ahead of the women’s pursuit for the Italian team. The sprint fifth Lisa Vittozzi has to cancel her participation in the 10-kilometer race due to a cold. “My heart is crying,” wrote the third in the overall World Cup on Instagram: “Unfortunately, I’m sick and can’t be at the start … I’m obviously disappointed, but I hope I’ll get better as soon as possible.” She would have started the race 45.8 seconds behind Denise Herrmann-Wick. The strong Swedes were also rejected. The overall World Cup second Elvira Öberg also has to leave the pursuer out due to illness. The sister of sprint silver medalist Hanna Öberg was only 16th (1+13.6) in the sprint on Friday.

INFO – Herrmann-Wick wants to experience the next dream

“I might never have dreamed of a day like this, it’s pure joy,” said an overjoyed Denise Herrmann-Wick following her sprint triumph at the Ski World Championships in Oberhof Eurosport. “It was a heart-stopping finale.
