Biathlon World Cup in Nove Mesto: Strelow with strong performance - Norway throws away gold
The Swedish team
became world champions completely unexpectedly
.
Top favorite
Norway
looked like the sure winner until the last shooting.
Then final runner Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen completely dismantled it.
He had to run
three penalty laps
and Sweden passed.
Viktor Brandt, Jesper Nelin, Martin Ponsiluoma
and
Sebastian Samuelsson
won ahead of Norway and France.
The German squadron came away empty-handed after a courageous fight.
Starting runner
Strelow
started like the much-quoted fire department.
The 27-year-old shot quickly and confidently,
clearing everything while standing and lying down
.
He had slight deficits in his running and handed over to
Kühn
in the leading group .
He needed a reloader while lying down, but had major problems in the subsequent standing shooting.
He had to go into the
penalty loop
and the German quartet fell back.
In
seventh place
he handed over to Nawrath.

But the medals were still within reach.
With a faultless prone shooting,
Nawrath
brought the German team further forward.
While standing, he only needed one spare and handed over
to Doll after a
strong performance .
The Black Forester hit everything while lying down, but when standing he made a mistake.
The competition made few mistakes and

had to
reload three times
.

Biathlon World Cup today in the live ticker: Schneider secures bronze for the DSV women
The German biathletes won bronze in the relay at the World Championships in Nove Mesto, securing the German team their third medal.
Despite the short-term absence of the ill final runner
Franziska Preuß
(29) ,
Janina Hettich-Walz
(27), World Cup debutant
Selina Grotian
(19),
Vanessa Voigt
(26) and the late nominee
Sophia Schneider
(26) celebrated this success somewhat surprisingly on Saturday.
A year after taking silver at the home World Championships in Oberhof, the DSV quartet had nine spares and were only beaten by
France
and
Sweden
.
The French started as the top favorites.
After
two penalties from Sophie Chauveau
, who started as the second runner, the team was already far behind.
Justine Braisaz-Bouchet and Julia Simon then made good use of their potential and still won gold.
Lou Jeanmonnot started the race as the starting runner.
Biathlon World Cup in the live ticker today: Material is causing frustration again
Silver went to Sweden,
followed by Germany, after a roller coaster ride, who finally got the medal they had hoped for.
Two and a half hours before the start of the race,
the German Ski Association informed about Preuß' failure.
It remains to be seen whether the 29-year-old, who is suffering from a “new
sore throat
,” will be able to take part in the mass start on Sunday.
Schneider stepped in and led the team as the final runner from fifth to third place, although individual runner-up Hettich-Walz in particular had problems on the cross-country ski trail.
“For me it was a combination of everything,” said the starting runner.
“There were places where it was salty.
I
really struggled with my skis
and then I didn't have the best day either.
I don't have any words right now."
Grotian performed well in her first World Cup season and kept the team on track.
Voigt again had major problems on the track
and handed over to Schneider in fifth place.
She stayed cool during her surprising effort and secured the medal after a wild race.

Vor dem Rennen: Wir starten mit einer bitteren Nachricht. Franziska Preuß verpasst die WM-Staffel in Nove Mesto.
Vor dem Rennen: Hallo und herzlich willkommen im Liveticker zur Biathlon-WM heute in Nove Mesto. Zwei Staffeln stehen an, wir dürfen uns auf einen spannenden Tag freuen.
Biathlon-WM heute im Liveticker: Der Vorbericht zu den Rennen
Die ersten Medaillen sind eingefahren, dennoch steigt für die deutschen Athleten am vorletzten Tag der Biathlon-WM 2024 der Druck. Anhand der Vorleistungen der bisherigen Saison sind zwei Medaillen in den Staffeln für die deutschen Biathleten Pflicht.
Biathlon-WM heute im Liveticker: So starten die deutschen Damen in der Staffel
Die deutschen Damen erreichten im Laufe des Biathlon-Weltcups in vier Staffelrennen zwei Podestplätze. Klingt nach einer Bilanz, in der man eine Medaille bei der WM nicht unbedingt zur Pflicht ausrufen muss. In den Rennen, in denen man das Podest verpasste, trat man allerdings nicht in Bestbesetzung an.
Dies ändert sich zur WM-Staffel. Damen-Coach Kristian Mehringer hat für die wichtigste Staffel der Saison. Vanessa Voigt, Selina Grotian, Janina Hettich-Walz und Franziska Preuß nominiert. Voigt ist eine ausgezeichnete Schützin und steigerte sich in der zweiten WM-Woche deutlich. Grotian zeigte in ihren bisherigen Staffeln bereits gute Resultate und glänzte bei ihrem WM-Debüt im Einzel mit dem vierten Platz.
Biathlon-WM heute im Liveticker: Frankreich als Topfavorit, Fragezeichen hinter Norwegen
Hettich-Walz geht als frisch gebackene Vizeweltmeisterin im Einzel mit viel Selbstvertrauen ins Rennen. Preuß gehört zu den besten Läuferinnen und stärksten Schützinnen des Feldes. Zudem ist sie im direkten Duell Frau gegen Frau erprobt und hat dort ihre Klasse schon mehrmals unter Beweis gestellt.
But a medal is not a sure-fire success.
The French women are the absolute top favorites.
They dominated the previous Biathlon World Championships and ensured that
France surprisingly led the medal table ahead of Norway
.
This is also due to the weakness of the Norwegian women, who have so far performed below expectations, but are still medal candidates.
This also applies to Italy, Sweden and Switzerland.

Biathlon World Cup in the live ticker: Men's medal is mandatory, line-up is set
The pressure situation is much greater for men.
The German men ran four relays this season and made it to the podium four times.
In the first two races it was third place, the last two seasons the DSV quartet finished in second place.
The superiority from Norway was even
on the verge of defeat at one point
.
National coach Uros Velepec has
nominated
Justus Strelow, Johannes Kühn, Benedikt Doll and runner-up Philipp Nawrath .
Strelow showed a good performance at the shooting range in the single mixed relay on Thursday, Kühn is having a consistent season and Doll has a lot of self-confidence after winning the bronze medal in the individual.
As a strong runner, Nawrath completes the lineup.
France dominates among the women, Norway shines among the men.
The Scandinavians won eight of nine possible individual medals.
They have
won all relays this season
and are the absolute favorites on Saturday.
In addition to Germany, Sweden, Italy and France are other medal candidates.
