Kontiolahti, Finnland - In the Finnish Contiaola Hand, the Biathlon World Cup 2024/25 was in full swing on December 7, 2024, and the German athletes performed impressive performances.

Preuss, who has returned after a short break due to health problems, was optimistic and explained: "The zero stands and that was the most important thing for me today". Julia Tannheimer, an up -and -coming biathlete, also achieved an excellent result when she finished sixth without shooting errors, emphasizing that she could hardly have done it better.

The other German participants had mixed results. While Dunja Zdouc came into the World Cup radio as 39. Vanessa Voigt had difficulties and landed in the 37th place after not showing the desired precision when shooting. The strong competition from France and Norway, which are traditionally strong biathlon nations, partially disappointed because only Oceane Michelon achieved a top ten place as a tenth. The World Cup leading Lou JeanMonnot had to be satisfied with the 17th place, while the Norwegians only made one participant into the top 15, which shows that the usual top performance in this competition was not called up as usual, so vienna.at .
