Biathlon in Antholz
Felix Leitner is slowly getting into his stride ahead of the World Championships
Biathlete Felix Leitner is slowly getting into his stride ahead of the World Championships. The 28-year-old Tyrolean finished 16th in the 12.5 km race in Antholz with just one miss, his best World Cup result so far this winter.

Leitner showed a spirited performance in the last race before the World Championships in Lenzerheide in mid-February. The sprint 42nd from Friday improved by 26 places. "Today the race was finally the way I wanted it to be. I made good progress right from the start and was able to show what I'm actually capable of at the shooting range," said Leitner. Patrick Jakob finished 37th behind Eder, while David Komatz (47th) and Fabian Müllauer (48th) missed out on World Cup points.
Things did not go according to plan for the ÖSV women's relay team without Lisa Hauser. Tamara Steiner, Anna Gandler, Anna Juppe and Anna Andexer were almost five minutes behind the victorious Swedes. Steiner and Juppe each had to go into the penalty loop once. Norway finished second ahead of France.
