World Cup in Lenzerheide - Biathlete Preuß wants to defy fatigue
According to former world champion Franziska Preuß, the main question in the women's biathletes' mass start will be how much strength she has left. "It's going to be really tough," said the 29-year-old ahead of the final race in Lenzerheide, Switzerland (12.30pm/ZDF and Eurosport). "I have to recover really well now and replenish my reserves and maybe we can be distracted by the positive atmosphere."
Preuß is looking forward to the competition over 12.5 kilometers at the end. "I quite like the mass start," she said. "At the beginning you can swim along a bit and save energy. The key is at the shooting range - especially standing. You can still move up a few places there."
Discipline coach Sverre Olsbu Röiseland also demands full concentration. "You can't make any stupid mistakes. It will be a tough race, the course is really hard. But it's the last race of the year and we will go all in," he said.
The men finish the World Cup premiere in Graubünden (14:45/ZDF and Eurosport). After the many penalties in the pursuit, sprint winner Benedikt Doll and Co. are out to make amends. "I don't know exactly what it was. I'll analyze it for myself and then I'll try to do better again," said Doll.
