Gold to Simon
Austrians left behind in the individual World Championships
The ÖSV biathletes missed out on the top places in the 15 km individual World Championships by a long way. Lisa Hauser finished 30th on Tuesday in Lenzerheide with three penalty minutes, Tamara Steiner came 31st. Gold went to France's Julia Simon, who had already triumphed in the mixed relay.
The 2024 sprint and pursuit world champion won 37.8 seconds ahead of the flawless Swede Ella Halvarsson despite one minute's penalty. Bronze went to Simon's compatriot Lou Jeanmonnot.
"A messed up race"
Former mass start world champion Hauser was over four minutes down on the winner. "All in all, the race was a bit of a mess. The others simply did much better," said the experienced Tyrolean. Steiner was 3.2 seconds behind Hauser after one minute's penalty. Anna Andexer (4 misses) was 56th, Anna Juppe (5) 67th.
Anna Gandler was not at the start due to illness. The Tyrolean even had to be taken to hospital after her journey home with a very high fever, as she reported on Instagram. Felix Leitner has also already ended the World Championships early due to health problems. The men's singles over 20 km will follow on Wednesday.
