(ANSA) – BEIJING, 05 FEB – “The girls made us dream but my race started uphill. I struggled on skis and I also took the effort to shoot. In the individual you will be able to understand something more”. Thus the blue of the biathlon Lukas Hofer, after the relay that saw Italy close in ninth place and get off the Olympic podium after two consecutive bronze medals.
“My race started well with the session on the ground – said Thomas Bormolini -. The wind was really difficult and in the standing shot I made too many mistakes. It’s a shame but I really gave my all.” After Lisa Vittozzi and Dorothea Wierer passed them a ‘podium’ baton, the two Azzurri found it more difficult to shoot, slipping back.
Despite the good performance, Wierer didn’t seem satisfied: “My legs were quite cold and I felt like I couldn’t go on, the snow doesn’t help because it’s really slow. I’m happy that I avoided the standing penalty: it took me a while but it was important to finish with reserve shots. The shot was still quite good “. (HANDLE).
