Quadruple biathlon world champion Vladimir Drachev declared that Italy’s victory Lisa Vittozzi in the overall standings of the World Cup became the main sensation last season.
— I followed the international season more than the Russian season. I would note all the power of the Norwegians in the men’s biathlon. The opponents had chances when the Norwegians made mistakes. Six Norwegians were arguing among themselves. The Boe brothers were in excellent form and played brilliantly all season, scoring several doubles.
I will note how much the Italian team has grown. Young people sometimes fought according to their abilities. France withdrew from the competition with the Norwegians. Their leader Quentin Fillon-Maillet began to work a little more quietly, only occasionally surprising Emilien Jacquelin with his rate of fire. If we talk about relay races, the World Championships turned out to be just a gift for the Swedes, and in general, the Swedish team looked at its level without much change. They always have two people in order, and the others support them if they can.
Among the women, it was the French who took a clear lead and beat everyone by the same margin as the Norwegians. The two leaders worked superbly and added the young Lou Jeanmonnot and Sophie Chauveau. They have made a significant jump this season. I didn’t like that in the World Cup they didn’t count points for the World Championship. Julia Simon and Justine Brezat-Boucher simply tore everyone apart, and no one counted these races. I don’t know why they look at skiers. This is not the right position, since the World Championship is the main starting point.
Lisa Vittozzi’s victory in the World Cup is the main sensational moment of the season. We were very worried and encouraging for her, and in the end she still managed to beat Ingrid Tandrevold, who failed at the World Championship. The season turned out to be interesting, it was nice to watch the fight,” Drachev said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
Last season, Vittozzi won the big Crystal Globe and became the winner of individual races and pursuits.
