Franziska Preuß Leads German Hopes at Biathlon World Championships

The overall World Cup leader enters the Lenzerheide competition in top form, aiming for her first individual gold medal.

Franziska Preuß, the 30-year-old German biathlete, is the top medal contender at the 2025 Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
Preuß has had a strong season, leading the overall World Cup standings with nearly 100 points ahead of her closest rival, Lou Jeanmonnot of France.
She has set her sights on winning an individual medal, with her previous best being a silver in the 2015 mass start event.
The German team also has high hopes for success in the team events, including the women's and mixed relays, with Preuß likely playing a key role.
The World Championships, running until February 23, mark the first time the event is being hosted in Lenzerheide, with 12 titles up for grabs.
