Bad mood in the women’s team, poor results in the Olympic season, a lack of structures, important retirements in the spring: just a year ago, the Swiss biathlon scene was on fire. With a view to the 2025 home World Cup in Lenzerheide, all alarm bells started ringing.

Those responsible decided on a total revolution. Investments were made in a more modern training orientation, specialized coaches and, above all, in time. For important conversations. And a calm development in finally improved preconditions.

The women’s team makes no secret of the fact that she consulted a psychologist on the way to the now great, relaxed group dynamic. The men’s team around the new shooting stars Niklas Hartweg and Sebastian Stalder, who say they are supported by the overall mood, also benefit from this.

The adjustments made during the last winter preparation have come into effect, as can be seen now. Switzerland shows results that suddenly give courage for the World Cup at home. Hartweg’s U25 coup is the culmination of a surprisingly strong season, which should now be confirmed as the next big challenge not to be underestimated. After all: in fertile soil after all the fires.
