Wall / Minsk - It was a long trip to Belarus for Stefanie Scherer for the European Biathlon Championship in Minsk, which starts today. The biathletes will fight for medals in the Minsk-Raubichi sports complex, which is located approximately 20 kilometers northeast of the capital, until Sunday. The European Championship would normally have been held in Otepääe, Estonia, but was relocated to Minsk due to lack of snow. But even then Scherer was presented with a sobering sight when she arrived. "There have been three laps since Wednesday that we can run on," says the SC Wall biathlete. “This is my first European championship and I am very excited to see how it will be. I am glad that I can be there. "

Scherer has earned the nomination of the German Ski Association (DSV) during the current season. If the 23-year-old was not even nominated for the IBU Cup before the season, she first proved herself in the Alpine Cup and German Cup and then won a race in the IBU Cup in December. "The expectations of myself have changed a lot compared to before the season after the races," says Scherer. “Suddenly I'm almost dissatisfied with a placement that I would have been extremely happy about last year. So I can't complain. "

At the open European Championships there are four competitions on which Scherer could start. The Super Sprint starts today, followed by the mixed relay and the normal relay, before the sprint and pursuit rounds off the title fights at the weekend. "It will be decided at short notice who will start at which competitions."

Under the regulations of the International Biathlon Union (IBU), some athletes from the IBU Cup can always start in the World Cup at the end of the season. Scherer can therefore be recommended at the European Championships. "I only think about it when the time comes," says the Wallerin. "Now I would like to call up the good results that I have already been able to show and maybe add one more."
