Biathlon in Antholz
Hauser improves 20 places in the pursuit
Former World Championship runner-up Lisa Hauser made up 20 places in the biathlon World Cup pursuit in Antholz with one miss and finished 13th. Tamara Steiner finished 25th and the victory at next season's Olympic venue was secured by sprint winner Lou Jeanmonnot, who started first. It was the sixth victory of the winter for the Frenchwoman, who finished ahead of compatriot Julia Simon and German World Cup leader Franziska Preuß.
Hauser managed to catch up as hoped. "I'm really happy with the race. The altitude doesn't make it any easier, of course, but it's the same for everyone," said the Tyrolean, who won the individual race in Antholz for the first time four years ago. Anna Gandler and other Austrians missed out on qualifying for the pursuit in South Tyrol, finishing outside the top 60 in the sprint.
In the men's relay, the Austrians only finished eleventh after Felix Leitner and David Komatz were penalized almost five minutes behind. First place went to France. The last races before the World Championships in Lenzerheide are the men's pursuit and the women's relay on Sunday.
