Yet another disappointment for the blue team at the World Championships in Oslo. In the women's 4x5km, Italy has stopped at the foot of the podium for what is the second to fourth place Arianna Follis and Marianna Longa in two days. A medal would be that perhaps they could come by making different choices, but every solution seemed emergency given the conditions of Silvia Rupil, Magda De Martin Topranin Genuin and Virginia, the which eventually took over Antonella Confortola in a technique and a distance that long suit.
The winner was not even to say that Norway had already dug a large groove before launching Marit Bjoergen solo walk to the finish line. Charlotte Kalla for Sweden was right at the beginning of the last fraction of the Finnish Krista Lahtenmaaki.
For Italy the race had started well with Marianna Longa now ready to make selection followed by Sweden's Ida Ingemarsdotter. The second fraction was assigned to the classic Antonella Confortola who has struggled to find a good rhythm in the first two kilometers with the result to sink in rear, also bypassed by the recovery of the Polish and Slovenian Petra Majdic Justyna Kowalczyk and. Italy has found that the change in eighth place. Silvia Rupil has held up well, climbing up to fifth place, despite the recently skipped workouts and physical problems that have plagued. Arianna Follis has traveled to the rhythm of the Kalla and superstar Bjoergen going to jump over the German Nicole Fessel, but now the medal was too far away. Tomorrow the boys go on stage with a chance for the Azzurri on the podium.
