Final spurt for the Biathlon World Cup: Oberhof is preparing!

Oberhof, Deutschland - In Oberhof, preparations for the upcoming Biathlon World Cup are in full swing. Only four weeks until the first competitions, and the well -known "Lotto Thuringia Arena am Rennsteig" is already transformed into a spectacular competition. The mobile stands are set up, as are numerous video screens. The organizers report on lively construction activity to complete everything in good time, because the first competition, the women's sprint, begins on January 9 at 2:20 p.m. "We are in the hot phase of preparation. Progress is visible every day," explains Bernd Wernicke, the head of the organizational committee, according to Insuedthueringen.de .

Logistical masterpiece and spectacular framework conditions

The arena, which is located at an altitude of 814 meters, offers space for around 20,350 spectators, including 12,850 in the stadium itself. In the meantime, 70 containers for the team area are also set up in which the athletes and technicians make the final preparations. The responsible persons, including Christoph Loerzer and Marie Blaner-Hornung, coordinate the logistical processes and emphasize the importance of teamwork in this crucial phase. "Every move has to sit. We have been working together for a long time and can rely on each other," adds Loerzer.

The snow management of the arena also benefits from the current frost period. Heiko Krause from the Zweckverband Thuringian Winter Sport Center explains that the necessary snow reserves can be effectively created by the recent frost conditions. These preparations are essential for a smooth running of the World Cup biathlon, which is not only a highlight for the athletes, but also for the audience and fans. In addition to the biathlon, the arena also offers a reasonable stage for other top-class events such as the Tour de Ski, which makes it an important location for winter sports enthusiasts, such as Events-oberhof.com
