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.

Biathlon World Cup today in the live ticker: The preliminary report on the races
The first medals have been won, but the pressure is increasing for the German athletes on the penultimate day of the 2024 Biathlon World Cup.
Based on the previous season's performance,
two medals in the relays are mandatory for the German biathletes
.
Biathlon World Cup today in the live ticker: This is how the German women start in the relay
The German women achieved two podium places in four relay races
during the Biathlon World Cup
.
Sounds like a balance in which you don't necessarily have to declare a medal at the World Cup a must.
However, in the races in which they missed the podium, they did not compete with the best possible team.
This changes for the World Cup relay.
Women's coach Kristian Mehringer has the most important relay of the season.
Vanessa Voigt, Selina Grotian, Janina Hettich-Walz and Franziska Preuß
nominated.
Voigt is an excellent shooter and improved significantly in the second week of the World Cup.
Grotian has already shown good results in her previous seasons and shone with fourth place in her individual World Cup debut.
Biathlon World Cup in the live ticker today: France as the top favorite, question marks behind Norway
Hettich-Walz, as the newly crowned individual runner-up, goes into the race with a lot of self-confidence.
Preuß is one of the best runners and strongest shooters in the field.
She has also been tested in
direct duels between women and women
and has already proven her class there several times.
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.

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.

won all relays this season
