Rebecca Passler, the 24-year-old Italian biathlete from Brunico, has officially not been called to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, despite recently winning her appeal regarding a doping suspension. Her absence from the Olympic team has raised questions, especially considering that her doping case was dismissed without any further implications, as the contamination was found to be unintentional. The final team for the women's 4x6 km relay will include other notable athletes such as Hannah Auchentaller, Dorothea Wierer, Michela Carrara, and Lisa Vittozzi, who will close the relay.
