With bronze in the mixed relay and single mixed relay, silver in sprint and gold in the pursuer, Franziska Preuss secured more than a complete medal set at the 2025 World Cup in Lenzerheide-and defied the enormously high expectations in advance. The successes of the overall world -cuppiece also have a positive effect on the rest of the German team.
“The achievements of Franzi Preuß are of course great for the whole team, because it also drops a bit of us with others,” says Julia Tannheimer in an exclusive conversation with sport.de A look at the performance of the German flagship biathlete.
Thanks to Preuss’ glossy World Cup, the rest of the team is “generally more relaxed”, continued the 19-year-old German biathlon Sennic law starter.
No wonder that Tannheimer Preuß grants the flood of medals from the heart: “Of course you are simply happy that it will work so well for her now. The whole season is simply mega and that she could now reward herself with a world championship title is of course perfect.”
2024/25 is the winter of Franziska Preuss
In addition to the strong World Cup results, Preuss has so far presented itself almost flawlessly in the World Cup in the winter of 2024/25. The 30-year-old is currently leading the race for the yellow jersey. A coup that Preuss has been believed for for years, but the health always put a stroke to the Germans – now everything is finally going smoothly.
Although Prussia was able to collect eight medals in their career before the 2025 World Cup in the event of major events, until the 2025 World Cup, precious metal was first booked in a single race, silver in the 2015 World Cup.
Not to rule out that there are further success in Switzerland. With the women’s relay and the mass start, Preuss still offers two chances.
