The medal node in the German biathlon offspring has finally burst! After the DSV was finally allowed to celebrate the first European championship title on Friday at the European Championship title fights in Altenberg, the next gold celebration followed on Saturday.
Less than 24 hours after the German biathlon juniors at the European Championship in Altenberg, the gold medal was able to celebrate the gold medal in the single mixed relay, the DSV team won the next title. After an almost perfect race, Fabian Kaskel secured the victory in the sprint over 10 kilometers.
The 21-year-old laid the foundation stone for victory and the European Championship title at the shooting range, where he failed without failing and blame. As a result, he managed to stay in front of his teammate Elias Seidl (1 error), which was significantly stronger in the trail, which became second with a gap of only 2.2 seconds. Third place and bronze went to the Frenchman Camille Grataloup-Manissolle (+13.9 seconds/1 error).
Kesper awards EM medal at the shooting range
Theoretically, a German medal trial pack would even have been possible, but Linus Kesper missed his chances of precious metal at the shooting range. Here he made a total of three mistakes and at least one too much. His gap to third place was 10.3 seconds at the finish line, and he lacked 24.2 seconds on the new European champion.
The German juniors in their sprint race also fully convinced. It was not enough for the DSV here, but the third was allowed to cheer Charlotte Gallbronner about the team’s first individual medal at the European Championship.
German biathletes also convince
Gallbronner showed a flawless idea at the shooting range and in the end only 14.7 seconds behind the new European champion Anaelle Bondoux (1 error) from France. Second place and silver went to their teammate Coralie Perrin (+2.6 seconds).
Lotta de Buhr also created a positive mood in the DSV camp, who finished fourth and narrowly missed a medal. Lea Zimmermann also cracked the top 10 as the tenth and rounded off the good German overall cutting off on the Sprint Saturday of the European Championship.
