Lena Häcki-Gross finished only 18th individually at the Biathlon World Championships.

Lena Häcki-Gross did not meet high expectations on an individual level at the Biathlon World Championships in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic. The World Cup leader in this discipline has to settle for 18th place.

The Swiss team leader missed three of the twenty goals. In the individual over 15 km this is particularly serious because the errors are compensated with a penalty minute instead of a penalty loop and because Tuesday’s wind conditions allowed for massive error-free shooting.

The gold medal goes to Italy

In the end, Lena Häcki-Gross was three and a half minutes behind the winner Lisa Vittozzi from Italy. The silver medalist Janina Hettich-Walz from Germany is just as fast on the cross-country ski trail as Lena Häcki-Gross. Theoretically, the coup would have been possible for the woman from Obwalden. France’s Julia Simon, who won the first three races in Nove Mesto, claimed fourth gold with a missed shot in third place.

Amy Baserga has to settle for 51st place after missing four goals. With this result she also missed qualifying for the top 30 mass start on Sunday. Aita Gasparin at 46th (3 penalties) and Elisa Gasparin at 50th (2) are ranked slightly better. (SDA/mbi)
