Franziska Preuß Claims Silver in Biathlon Sprint at World Championships

The 30-year-old German biathlete secures her second individual World Championship medal, narrowly missing gold in Lenzerheide.

Franziska Preuß finished second in the 7.5 km sprint at the Biathlon World Championships, 9.8 seconds behind France’s Justine Braisaz-Bouchet.
This marks Preuß's second individual World Championship medal, coming ten years after her first in 2015.
The Finnish athlete Suvi Minkkinen secured bronze, finishing just 0.2 seconds behind Preuß.
Preuß's strong start and consistent shooting laid the foundation for her silver, despite one penalty lap during the race.
The German biathlete, who leads the overall World Cup standings, is now focused on the pursuit event, where she aims to contend for her first World Championship gold.
