Italian Lisa Vittozzi’s stunning 10-for-10 shooting on a very windy afternoon secured the women’s 4 X 6 km relay Gold medal for her and teammates Samuela Comola, Dorothea Wierer and Hannah Auchentaller at the BMW IBU World Championships in Oberhof. The Italian team used only two spare rounds, the best shooting performance of any team this season in their 1:14:39.7 win.

Vittozzi, now has four medals, the most of any woman this year later added, “We were not the top team (before the competition) but today yes. The last loop was incredible for me. The last standing shooting was amazing. I realized on the Birxsteig that we won. This World Championship was really perfect for me, even if I was ill last weekend.”
