The duo of Vanessa Voigt and Justus Strelow has been in the race for a place on the podium for a long time. But then the shooting is the deciding factor.
Vanessa Voigt and Justus Strelow missed the hoped-for medal in the single mixed relay at the Biathlon World Championships in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic. A good three and a half weeks after their World Cup debut victory in this discipline, the duo had to settle for sixth place on Thursday evening. After four spare rounds, the two ended up 1:04.6 minutes behind the new world champions France. Italy secured silver ahead of Norway.
