German Biathlon Men Secure Bronze; Women Finish Fifth at World Championship

The German men's team ends a five-year medal drought with a hard-fought bronze, while the women's team falls short of expectations in Lenzerheide.

The German men's biathlon team, composed of Philipp Nawrath, Danilo Riethmüller, Johannes Kühn, and Philipp Horn, won bronze in the 4x7.5 km relay at the Biathlon World Championship in Lenzerheide.
Philipp Horn delivered a standout performance in the final leg, securing the medal with a perfect standing shoot and holding off Sweden's Sebastian Samuelsson.
This marks the first relay medal for the German men since 2020, following years of disappointing results in major competitions.
The German women's team, despite entering the 4x6 km relay as medal contenders, finished fifth after a series of shooting errors, including a penalty loop by Sophia Schneider.
France dominated the women's race with a start-to-finish victory, while Norway and Sweden claimed silver and bronze, respectively.
