Biathlon Star Preuß Triumphs in Lenzerheide

Despite overcoming recent setbacks, Franziska Preuß dazzled at Switzerland's Lenzerheide Biathlon World Cup. In a thrilling 10km pursuit race, she snatched the coveted gold medal, besting renowned competitors with stellar target-hitting abilities.

Preuss stormed through the race, climbing from the early ranks to seal her ultimate victory, proving her indomitable comeback spirit. Although Justine Braisaz-Bouchet and Elvira Öberg were hot on her heels, Preuß flawlessly executed her shooting, setting herself apart from her competitors.

The former world champion faced some challenges during the pursuit, battling a lack of oxygen as a result of her intense effort. In an interview with ZDF, Preuß declared her satisfaction with the outcome of the race, praising her resilience:

"I'm thrilled with how it all turned out. Today I was like a remote-controlled athlete because I could feel the oxygen deficiency. But I kept on pushing through, and I'm immeasurably proud of surpassing expectations in such a fierce competition. "

Other highlight performances at Lenzerheide World Cup included Justine Braisaz-Bouchet securing the second spot, while Elvira Öberg clinched the bronze medal.

Young talent Selina Grotian narrowly missed out on World Cup points, finishing in 41st place despite extra laps. Vanessa Voigt, who boasted a 100% shooting record, rose 14 places during the race and finished in an impressive seventh spot. Janina Hettich-Walz, an up-and-coming athlete, finished eighth after incurring a single penalty.
