Oestersund World Cup: Wierer Takes the Win in Individual Race

Moscow, March 9 – Italian Dorothea Ferrer won the 15 km individual sprint at the World Cup in Östersund, Sweden.

Wierer ran the distance in 41 minutes, 19.6 seconds, shooting cleanly on four firing lines.

The second place came to the other Italian, Lisa Fituzzi, who also shot cleanly, 25.5 seconds behind Ferrer. Germany’s Denise Hermann Wieck was third (+1:38.8, 1 miss).

The International Biathlon Union (IBU) congress decided in September to support the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions until further notice amid the situation in Ukraine.
