On Friday, in continuation of the sixth stage of the Biathlon World Cup, which takes place in Ruhpolding, Germany, another race will take place. We bring to your attention the forecast for the women's relay race.
This women's relay will be the third this season. In Ostersund, the French women celebrated the victory, and in Hochfilzen, the Swedes were the strongest. This time, the Swedish national team is not considered seriously as a contender for victory, since the Scandinavian women will perform in an experimental composition to find out who is worthy to keep the Eberg sisters company at the Olympic Games in Beijing. Without the star sisters, it will be difficult for the Swedes to fight even for getting into the top 3. But the French women have a very strong and fairly even composition, and they should take the gold medals.
I would like to hope that the Russians will be in the prizes, although there are certain concerns about this, given that the shooting of Russian-speaking athletes somehow does not stick at all in Ruhpolding. For the same reason, Belarusians may also fail, for whom Anna Sola also showed a very mediocre speed in the sprint race. As if it were not an omen of a decline after experiencing a peak of form. On the podium, we will be waiting for the German national team, which, after unimportant performances in Oberhof at the second home stage in a row, look much nicer. In the top 6, Italians should come in, who will perform with their combat team, they are quite capable of outstripping the Swedes and Norwegians, because the Scandinavian women will fight half as doubles.
Directly in the duel of the Swedes with the Norwegians, we will put on the last one. The Norwegian national team will have Marta Roiseland running at the first stage, which should create a good foundation for her teammates, and it will be easier for them to cling to the leaders, losing less to the Swedish team. A good coefficient is offered for Polec against Finns, whose composition is highly unbalanced, and there is a greater chance that someone will fail. Ukrainians should be higher than Swiss women, where sisters Gasparin and Hecky are frankly disappointing this Olympic season
