Selina Grotian Returns to Oberhof After Breakthrough Biathlon Season

The 20-year-old athlete reflects on overcoming setbacks and achieving her first World Cup victory as she prepares for the upcoming sprint event.

Selina Grotian is set to compete in the Oberhof Biathlon World Cup sprint, marking her return to the site of past struggles and growth.
After a difficult 2024 season that included a team demotion and emotional setbacks, Grotian has regained confidence with improved performances and a World Cup victory in December 2024.
Her first World Cup win in Le Grand-Bornand made her one of the youngest German biathletes to achieve this milestone, surpassing even Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier in age at her first win.
Grotian has credited her recovery to mental resilience, support from her brother and coach, and a focus on finding balance between sport and personal life.
Despite a challenging start to the current season, Grotian is focusing on consistency and precision, particularly in shooting, as she aims to solidify her place among biathlon's rising stars.
