Biathlon title fights
Gandler drops out of World Championships, Salzburg woman moves up
As was announced on Sunday evening, the Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide (Sz) are over prematurely for Tyrolean Anna Gandler. This benefits an athlete from Salzburg, who moves up to the team.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Gandler was already unable to take part in the pursuit on Sunday due to illness. The 24-year-old returned home in the afternoon. In her place, Lea Rothschopf from Kuchl has now moved into the squad. The 23-year-old former European junior champion made her debut at World Championship level last year in Nove Mesto (Tch) and achieved the best World Cup result in Austrian relay history to date with fourth place at the World Cup in Utah with Lisa Hauser, Anna Juppe and Gandler.
Change in the men's line-up
The World Cup is already over before it has even begun for Gandler's Tyrolean compatriot Felix Leitner. He was supposed to join the team in the second week, but is still struggling with the after-effects of a severe flu. Instead of the 28-year-old, the Carinthian former cross-country skier Magnus Oberhauser will now take his place.
