Biathlon World Cup in the dark: Laura Dahlmeier explains the problem. “Sure, it’s something special that the races take place in the evening.
It's unusual for the athletes,” says Dahlmeier. Dahlmeier doesn't want to use the darkness as an excuse for a possible poor performance. The 30-year-old double Olympic champion made her first major appearance eleven years ago at the Biathlon World Championships in Nove Mesto. The German team ended up in a disappointing fifth place.
