Overview
- Denise Herrmann-Wick, who gave birth to her second child on August 28, will handle ZDF’s biathlon analysis alone this season after sharing duties with Dahlmeier last winter.
- ZDF told TAG24 it chose not to hire an additional expert to do justice to Dahlmeier’s memory, leaving the position vacant for now.
- Sven Fischer continues alongside commentator Volker Grube on biathlon coverage, with Katrin Müller-Hohenstein and Katja Streso alternating studio hosting.
- ZDF’s winter schedule includes live alpine World Cup coverage from Sölden in late October, with the biathlon World Cup opening November 29 in Östersund and ZDF’s first biathlon broadcasts beginning in early December.
- Dahlmeier died in late July after a rockfall on Laila Peak in Pakistan; recovery efforts did not retrieve her remains, and her hometown approved renaming a park in her honor.
