Lisa Vittozzi wins the gold medal in the individual at the Biathlon World Championships in Nove Mesto. «I am incredibly proud of myself. The race had started with a mishap, because when I showed up at the first shooting range, I couldn't unload the shot and had to insert it again. However, I kept my cool and did well. When I crossed the finish line I was very emotional, I experienced a wonderful sensation because this is my first gold medal in an individual race at a World Championship, and it came on the right day, in the right race».
These are the words of the Friulian athlete at the end of the victorious women's individual, the second medal after the silver in the pursuit. «I knew I was playing for the win in the last shooting range if I didn't fail, and I didn't make a mistake. Last year I missed the last target in the last shooting range of the individual in Oberhof, this time the same thing couldn't happen. Now I'm on top of the world, the past is past, I want to think only about the present and what the next few days may still hold for us». Dorothea Wierer finished in fourteenth place: «I didn't have the right position in the first series, I lacked a bit of confidence and with two mistakes I had no chances to fight for the medals, the downhill was a bit dangerous, but lap after lap I improved on the skis».
