LIVE LIVE OF THE MEN’S BIATHLON MASS START FROM 10.00
8.45 Thanks for following us and good continuation of the day. A sporting greeting.
8.43 Dorothea Wierer (8 errors) closes 22nd at 3’23 “. She has never digested the wind in her career, today at the shooting range she struggled.
8.42 Davidova is fourth at 53 ″ 4. The first four all made 4 mistakes. Fifth the Russian Reztsova at 1’11 “(6), Simon sixth at 1’22” (6). Completing the top10 are Dzhima, Preuss, Elvira Oeberg and Sola.
8.41 Eckhoff silver at 15 “3, Roeiseland bronze at 35”.
8.40 Braisaz crosses the finish line, gold to France, the third in this Olympics in biathlon.
8.38 Last kilometer. Braisaz is administering, 30 ″ on Eckhoff. Podium now defined. The Frenchwoman made a number when she broke all of them between the third and fourth polygon: today she was the strongest in the background.
8.36 Eckhoff detached Roeiseland for the silver. Davidova, on the other hand, just can’t keep up with the Scandinavians and will finish fourth.
8.34 After the last polygon Braisaz leads with 48 ″ 5 on Eckhoff and 50 ″ on Roeiseland. Fourth Davidova at 55 ″ 2, fifth Simon at 1’13 ”. For Dorothea Wierer two other errors, she closes with a very modest 12/20.
8.33 Gold Braisaz. 4/5, but all the others are also wrong. 2 mistakes for Eckhoff, Roeiseland and Davidova, 3 for Elvira Oeberg.
8.32 We are at the last shooting range, standing shooting session. And the wind dropped… What luck for Braisaz. 3 meters per second.
8.31 We will now see how Braisaz will manage the last polygon after having shot beyond belief.
8.29 Braisaz is flying on skis. She was 21st after the first shooting range, but she had the mental strength to stay focused, unlike other athletes.
8.28 Hallucinating extension of the French Braisaz! You earned 15 ″ on the group made up of Roeiseland, Davidova, Eckhoff and Elvira Oeberg, not exactly the latest arrivals…
8.27 Two other mistakes for Dorothea Wierer. 9/15, she is 23rd at 2’08 “. A few days ago she, albeit smiling, she said verbatim: “Can’t wait to go home“. Obviously the motivations have dropped a bit.
8.25 Race completely reopened. After three polygons Braisaz and Roeiseland are together, Elvira Oeberg at 5 “, Davidova and Eckhoff at 7”. In five for the medals, the sixth is 30 ″, but anything can happen, as we have seen.
8.24 It goes well for Braisaz (5/5) and Davidova (4/5). Elvira Oeberg is also back in the race (5/5).
8.24 2 errors for Roeiseland, 4 for Eckhoff, 3 for Simon! There is a lot of wind!
8.22 We are at the third range, standing shooting session.
8.21 If they don’t wreak havoc on the shooting range, the Norwegians are impregnable.
8.19 Simon continues to lose from the unreachable Norwegians. At 5.9 km he passes with a 33 ″ delay. Innerhofer fourth at 44 “, Davidova fifth at 46”, Hinza sinks at 56 “8.
8.18 Eckhoff and Roeiseland made a void: 23 ″ on Simon, 41 ″ on Innerhofer, 43 ″ on Hinz. Wierer 26th after two polygons at 1’59 “.
8.17 1 mistake for Simon, 3 for Hanna Oeberg. Two more for Dorothea Wierer: 6/10 for the blue, now mentally out of the race.
8.15 5/5 for Roeiseland and Eckhoff, the Norwegians leave, the only ones not to be wrong.
8.14 We are at the second polygon. Shooting session on the ground. Wind at 7.5 meters per second.
8.13 Eckhoff’s forcing continues. Demon-possessed rhythm.
8.11 Now the Norwegians are serious. Eckhoff imposes a frenzied pace. Only Roeiseland, Hanna Oeberg, Persson and Simon remain in the wake, the others come off. Also noteworthy is an error for Elvira Oeberg, with 55 ″ detached at 3.4 km: the Swede is struggling so much on her skis. Wierer 25th at 1’08 “.
8.10 In 11 they didn’t make a mistake: Eckhoff, Hanna Oeberg, Roeiseland, Simon, Persson, Haecki, Hauser, Bescond, Fialkova, Hinz, Charvatova. 2 mistakes for Wierer, Braisaz, Sola, Chevalier.
8.08 Farewell Dorothea Wierer: immediately two errors and compromised race. Unfortunately the blue with the wind has always struggled.
8.07 We are at the first shooting range, ground shooting session. There is strong wind, 7 meters per second.
8.06 Wierer now again in the belly of the group. He has lost several positions.
8.04 Group always compact at 1500 meters. Clearly all are waiting for the first polygon.
8.03 Dorothea Wierer goes back to third position at 900 meters.
8.02 The German Herrmann dictates the pace, Wierer remains in the center of the group.
8.01 Compact group in this phase, but already very elongated.
8.00 The race has started.
7.56 Clear skies, the wind seems to have dropped compared to zeroing.
7.55 In the mass start the first two shooting sessions are on the ground, the last two standing.
7.52 We remind you that the race should have taken place tomorrow at 10.00, but it was brought forward to today because a drastic drop in temperatures, which are already rigid in themselves, is expected.
7.45 The woman to beat will, as always, be the Norwegian Marte Olsbu Roeiseland, gold in the sprint, pursuit and mixed relay so far, as well as bronze in the individual.
7.41 Dorothea Wierer, in this race, was sixth in PyeongChang 2018. At the World Championships she boasts gold in 2019 and silver in 2020.
7.33 The Russian Irina Kazakevich, who was the first reserve, replaces the unfortunate Norwegian Ingrid Tandrevold, who fell ill during the chase.

7.30 am Hello friends of OA Sport and welcome to the Live Live broadcast of the 12.5 women’s biathlon mass start at the Beijing 2022 Olympics.
How to follow the race on TV / streaming – The startlist of the race – The presentation of the tender
Hello and welcome back to LIVE LIVE of the women’s mass start, valid test for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. On the Chinese snow we are preparing to experience a highly exciting test on the four polygons with an uncertain result.
Tiril Eckhoff’s blunder prevented her from chasing the row of medals in her turn, but Marte Røiseland is in full swing to equalize Bjørndalen’s poker of golds: the triumphs in the mixed relay, sprint and pursuit (in addition to the bronze in the individual) are waiting to be completed by the golden quarter.
There is Dorothea Wierer. On skis, the blue does not stand up to the competition of the strongest, but if she managed to express herself at the shooting range as she did between sprint and relay (and on the ground even in pursuit) she could easily run for the podium. A crowded race, it must be said: but the last round, at the Südtirol Arena, belonged to him. And as previously said, it is better to keep this in mind, even if the context of Antholz was particular due to the many absences.
OA Track we offer LIVE LIVE of the women’s mass start, valid test for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics: news in real time and constant updates. It starts at 08.00 Italian time. Have fun!
