The crowd favorite will not be taking part in the sprint on Friday

To the regret of many German biathlon fans, Magdalena Neuner will not be taking part in tomorrow's sprint race in Antholz. The double world champion from 2007 - she won both titles in Antholz - is suffering from a cold and will therefore be rested for the next World Cup races and the World Championships in Kanthy Mansiysk. The woman from Wallgau won the sprint race last year.
