11:00 a.m.: The challenges
All behind Julia! The Frenchwoman, a little less well in the last races, is within gunshot of the Swede Elvira Oeberg. Still the leader of the World Cup, she is only 31 points ahead of her runner-up at the start of this weekend in Ruhpolding. The battle promises to be intense again on this demanding format that is the individual. This is the second of the season after Kontiolahti. In Finland, it was Oeberg’s big sister, Hannah, who won, Simon taking 5th place and Elvira 9th. And this time? No pressure either, the way things are going, there may still be a lot of crossovers at the top of the general classification.
