Overview
- Journalist Taufig Khalil’s book Bock auf Biathlon was released on November 5 and includes an interview with Dahlmeier recorded on May 6 alongside voices from other biathlon figures.
- Dahlmeier recounts extreme exhaustion at the 2017 Hochfilzen World Championships, collapsing after the individual and relay races before arguing to start the mass start against medical advice.
- She says she trusted her bodily judgment from mountaineering, secured a deal to stop if necessary, and then won another gold in the final race.
- Her account describes two ascents of Ama Dablam in three days in autumn 2024 followed by a solo climb, which she characterizes as an unintended “world record,” a claim not independently verified in the reporting.
- Coverage reiterates that Dahlmeier died on July 28, 2025 after a rockfall on Laila Peak in Pakistan and that her family has confirmed her body will remain on the mountain.
