What a race Tomaso Giacomel was able to drive for his first career win and it's one of the best races I've ever seen. He dominated her from head to tail, and here he was able to attack Boe and Lagreid. 😅🇮🇹
...

I'm looking forward to what the home team from the Anholz Anterselva can do on the home weekend, who will compete in the Olympic games next year. Let's hope that the 6th stage of the biathlon world cup will be an electrifying one, with many twists and turns. 🤩🇮🇹
