Biathlon - Doll crowns DSV top result with sprint victory

Benedikt Doll has won the biathletes' sprint at the World Cup premiere in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

He won on Friday after ten kilometers with a lead of 5.4 seconds ahead of Norwegian star Johannes Thingnes Bö and his teammate Philipp Nawrath, who each missed once. In his first victory since March 2023, the 33-year-old veteran laid the foundation at the shooting range.

The German Ski Association's outstanding team result was rounded off by Philipp Horn (1 miss/4th), who beat the World Championship standard, and Johannes Kühn (0/6th). Justus Strelow, who finished 18th after one penalty, also made it into the top 20 and put himself in a good position for the pursuit race on Saturday (14:40/ZDF). Only David Zobel missed two targets and finished in 39th place.

The duel between Germany and Norway overshadowed the men's opener in Graubünden - with the better end for the DSV athletes. "We all shot very well and I knew from my standing shooting that it would be a zero - that was a great feeling and we had really good skis," said Doll after his fifth World Cup success in an interview on ZDF.
