In the World Championship pursuit
Biathlon: Hauser improves, gold to Preuß
Lisa Hauser improved to 15th place in the pursuit at the Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide on Sunday. The Tyrolean missed out on a possible top 10 place in the final shooting, where she made her only two mistakes. Compatriot Anna Gandler did not compete after finishing 33rd in the sprint due to illness. Germany's Franziska Preuß took gold ahead of Sweden's Elvira Öberg and sprint world champion Justine Braisaz-Bouchet from France.

Tamara Steiner improved by four positions to 31st place with just one miss, while World Championship debutant Anna Andexer moved up from 58th place to 44th with three misses.
Preuß won her first individual World Championship gold medal. The 30-year-old Bavarian had previously won bronze in the mixed relay and silver in the sprint in Lenzerheide. Her final round was a triumph with the German flag after a flawless shooting performance, Öberg (1 penalty) and Braisaz-Bouchet (3) finished around 40 seconds behind her. The fourth-placed Frenchwoman Lou Jeanmonnot was already more than a minute behind.
