Biathlon: Dahlmeier with bronze in the individual - surprise victory by Swede Öberg

Pyeongchang (SID) Double Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier won her next biathlon medal at the Winter Games in Pyeongchang. The 24-year-old from Partenkirchen, who triumphed in the sprint and pursuit, incurred a penalty minute in the individual over 15 km at the shooting range and took bronze (+41,2 seconds) in the surprise victory of Swede Hanna Öberg. Franziska Preuß (Hague/0 penalty minutes/+59,7) came fourth after a strong performance. “I tried to fight hard on the track and give it my all,” said Dahlmeier, who was the first woman to win an Olympic medal in the sprint, pursuit and individual: “I’m really overjoyed that there’s another one today Medal was enough. The madness." Behind the flawless Öberg, whose best career placements to date were fifth places in the pursuit in Pyeongchang and in the World Cup, Slovakia's Anastasiya Kuzmina (2/+24,7) took silver. Franziska Hildebrand (Clausthal-Zellerfeld/1/+2:31,4 minutes) ended up in ninth place, Maren Hammerschmidt (Winterberg/+3:20,8) was 17th after three penalty minutes. In the fifth biathletes race it was the fifth medal for Germany. In addition to Dahlmeier's two victories, Arnd Peiffer (Clausthal-Zellerfeld) won gold in the sprint, while Benedikt Doll (Breitnau) was successful in the pursuit with bronze.
