German biathlon star showered with hate comments after poor World Cup performances. Vanessa Voigt received many hate comments on social media.

“I just need a hug and a few nice words right now and definitely no news that might push me even further down to earth,” said the 26-year-old Thuringian. Only Janina Hettich-Walz was able to win her first precious metal with silver in the individual. The German biathlon team fell short of expectations in the first races of the World Championships.
