Linda Zingerle

At the 2021 Youth World Championships, the Italian biathlete once again won three medals, including silver in the sprint behind Lena Repinc.

On December 1, 2021, in Sjusjøen, she caused a major surprise by winning the super sprint despite two shooting misses, narrowly defeating Iryna Petrenko and Anastasiya Shevchenko in a close finish.

Nevertheless, she claimed gold in the relay at the Junior World Championships alongside Passler, Auchentaller, and Beatrice Trabucchi.

A similar pattern followed in the next season, as Zingerle finished 10th in the sprint at the European Championships and, together with Daniele Cappellari, placed fifth in the single mixed relay.
