German Biathletes Secure Back-to-Back Relay Wins at Ruhpolding World Cup

The German women's team triumphed with a 17.4-second lead over Norway, marking their second consecutive relay victory this season.

The German women's biathlon team, featuring Stefanie Scherer, Selina Grotian, Sophia Schneider, and Franziska Preuß, claimed victory in the 4x6km relay at the Ruhpolding World Cup.
This marks their second relay win of the season, following a December victory in Hochfilzen, which was their first in nearly four years.
Despite roster challenges due to illness, the team excelled with only four extra rounds, finishing 17.4 seconds ahead of Norway, with France in third place.
Franziska Preuß, the team anchor and current World Cup leader, delivered a flawless final leg to secure the win in front of 20,500 enthusiastic spectators.
Norwegian biathlon legend Johannes Thingnes Bö announced his retirement at the end of this season and is set to compete in Sunday's mass start event.
