12:11. On Monday lunchtime, the German Ski Association announced the names of the four biathletes who will be lining up on Tuesday afternoon for the individual event at the 2025 Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide (Switzerland).
While the presence of Franziska Preuss, who has already won three medals in Switzerland, Selina Grotian and Julia Tannheimer was expected, the (small) surprise came when Sophie Schneider was replaced by Johanna Puff in fourth place.
Eleventh in the sprint and twenty-fourth in the pursuit, the native of Traunstein (Germany) had to make way for the brand new European champion in the speciality.
