The German biathlete's flawless performance marks a strong response to earlier struggles in the season.

Philipp Nawrath finished third in the 10-kilometer sprint in Kontiolahti, hitting all ten targets and achieving the sixth-best skiing time.
This podium finish follows criticism of the German team after a disappointing performance in the individual race earlier in the week.
Three German athletes, including Nawrath, placed in the top 20, signaling a marked improvement for the team.
French biathlete Émilien Jacquelin won the race, with Sweden's Sebastian Samuelsson taking second place.
David Zobel struggled with accuracy, finishing 62nd after four missed shots, highlighting room for further team improvement.
