Podium in the 7.5 km sprint of women’s biathlon and in the men’s 10 thousand meter skating. Italy has a loot of 10 medals for now
BEIJING. Two bronze medals for Italy. The blue Davide Ghiotto won the bronze medal in the 10,000 meter fast skating competition of the Beijing Games. Gold went to the Swedish Van der Poel, the silver to the Dutch Roest.
Immediately after the blue Dorothea Wierer won the bronze medal in the women’s biathlon 7.5 km sprint race of the Beijing Games. Gold to the Norwegian Roeiseland, silver to the Swedish Oeberg. Italy reaches ten medals, equaling the total of PyeongChang.
Fade the five-circle dream for Federica Brignone. The blue, leader of the Super-G world cup, closed the Olympic test in seventh place, 66 cents from the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami who won the gold. Silver for the Austrian Mirjam Puchner and bronze for the other Swiss Michelle Gisin.
“If I went back to the top I wouldn’t know what to do different from what I did today. I simply wasn’t the best”, comments Brignone. Meanwhile Sofia Goggia remains at rest in view of the first downhill test scheduled for tomorrow 12 February.
Disappointment then also for Arianna Fontana in the 1000 meters of the short track at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the blue fell during the final. Gold went to Dutch Schoulting, silver to South Korean Min-Jeong Choi, bronze to Belgian Hanne Desmet.
