Delight moment for the German biathlon team. On the way to the season finale of the biathlon winter in Oslo, the dsv’s wax truck caught fire. The rear axle burned, but the situation was quickly brought under control.
“Thanks to the quick reaction of our drivers, the fire could be deleted, but the night was long,” wrote the German Ski Association on Instagram. In order to remove the damage, it was “screwed” on the car all night in a workshop, now it was again a journey again, explained sports director Felix Bitterling. The trip towards Norway was continued on Tuesday afternoon.
