Biathlon: Germany bets on continuity
This Tuesday morning, the German Ski Association made official the composition of its groups for the Biathlon World Cup in Pokljuka (Slovenia). Unsurprisingly, the German staff have made no changes to the biathletes who competed in Nove Mesto (Czech Republic) last week.
Franziska Preuss, still wearing the yellow bib, will be the women’s leader with Selina Grotian, Julia Tannheimer, Sophia Schneider, Johanna Puff and Marlene Fichtner in her wake. On the men’s side, Philipp Horn, Johannes Kuehn, Philipp Nawrath, Danilo Riethmueller, David Zobel and Justus Strelow are all returning.
