German biathlon star showered with hate comments after poor World Cup performances. Only Janina Hettich-Walz was able to win her first precious metal with silver in the individual.

“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 Vanessa Voigt in the “ARD-Sportschau” podcast. The 26-year-old traveled to the World Cup with great ambitions because the season had been promising so far.
