Biathlon at Schalke
Two Austrians perform in front of 40,000 fans
Austria's biathlon hopefuls have got what it takes! After last year's victory by Anna Andexer and Lukas Haslinger, there was another podium finish this time in front of 40,000 fans at Schalke. Wilma Anhaus and Thomas Marchl were only beaten by the Norwegian duo in the Talent Team Challenge.
Year after year, the biathletes' World Team Challenge in Schalke is a real highlight for cross-country skiers from all over the world.
The year 2024 was no exception. Over 40,000 spectators made the pilgrimage to the arena in Gelsenkirchen to watch the winter duels.
Salzburg is strong in the junior competition
While there was no red-white-red duo in the elite competition due to the withdrawal of Anna Gandler, who was due to start with Simon Eder, the ÖSV aces caused a sensation in the junior competition.
After two Salzburgers, Anna Andexer and Lukas Haslinger, won last year, this time they took second place. Wilma Anhaus and Thomas Marchl - who are also from Salzburg - were only beaten by the Norwegian duo Guro Femsteinevik and Sivert Gerhardsen. Local heroes Gallbronner/Kesper completed the podium.
