Prize money: This is how much Wierer, Hofer, Windisch & Co. collected.

With her fifth place in the overall World Cup, Dorothea Wierer is not only the best biathlete in the “Azzurri” team, but also earned the most prize money. The woman from Niederrasner earns a total of 87.750 euros, whereby she receives 74.750 euros for her race placements and an additional 13.000 euros for fifth place in the overall ranking - gross, of course.

The second best earner for the “Azzurri” was the surprise lady Lisa Vittozzi, who was credited with a total of 75.750 euros (65.750 for race placements, 10.000 for sixth place in the overall ranking). Curious: Vittozzi collected 22.000 euros, a little more than a quarter of the total income, in a single weekend, namely in Kontiolahti, where she came third (sprint), second (mass start) and first (with the mixed relay).

Lukas Hofer completed the best season of his career this year - this is demonstrated not only by the eleven top 10 places, but also by the 73.000 euros that the Montaler earned in the winter (60.000 for race placements, 13.000 for fifth place in the overall ranking). Dominik Windisch earned significantly less (24.500 euros). However, the speedster won an individual bronze medal in the sprint at the Olympics worth 50.000 euros and also bronze in the mixed relay with Wierer, Vittozzi and Hofer, which also earned 50.000 euros for each athlete. Federica Sanfilippo still earned 8250 euros in the World Cup. Fourcade wins the most King of the prize money is overall World Cup winner Martin Fourcade: adding up the race and overall World Cup placings, a total of 251.500 euros flowed into the Frenchman's account. The second-placed Johannes Thingnes Bö also took home a nice sum of 222.750 euros. A phenomenon: Martin Fourcade. © APA/afp / STR

In the women's category, Kaisa Mäkäräinen won the overall ranking and was credited with 131.500 euros, but second place Anastasiya Kuzmina earned the most with 136.000 euros. Reason for this: The number of wins. While Kuzmina laughed from the highest podium five times and earned 13.000 euros each, Makkarainen “only” won two competitions, but was more consistent than the Slovakian. This does not include the 750 euros per race that the athlete always receives with the yellow (overall World Cup leader) and red (discipline leader) jersey. Alpine skiing is a lot more lucrative For the sake of completeness: For a win you get 13.000 euros, for second place 10.000 euros, for third place 7.000 euros and for 15th place you get 500 euros. In the four-person relay, a win brings 20.000 euros (5000 euros for each), second place 14.000 euros (3500 euros for each) and third place 11.000 euros (2750 euros for each). In addition, the first ten in the overall World Cup ranking receive an extra bonus (28.000 euros for first place, 6.000 euros for tenth).

The sport of biathlon is definitely lucrative. However, nowhere near as much as alpine skiing. Here the two overall World Cup winners Marcel Hirscher and Mikaela Shiffrin collected 570.000 and 599.000 euros respectively.
