The biathlon World Cup was a complete success for Franziska Preuss. This not only refers to their medals, but also to the financial.
At the biathlon World Cup in Lenzerheide, Franziska Preuss secured precious metal several times. In the pursuit, she won the gold medal, in the sprint silver, twice she got bronze with the season (mixed and single mixed). “I take many wonderful moments with me. I won four medals and even a title. If someone had told me beforehand, I would have taken it immediately,” Preuss had balanced afterwards. “It can’t really go. I take a lot of positive things with me.”
This should also include the prize money that Germany’s star biathlete has won through the World Cup. Because as the “Sport.de” portal reports, no woman in Lenzerheide has earned more than Prussia. The 30-year-old is said to have generated a total of 68,250 euros through her sporting success-a mega sum.
The Swede Elvira Öberg is just behind Preuss. According to the report, she received 64,250 euros. The fact that Preuss was in the end of the overall termination of the prize money is probably due to the fact that she completed three missions with the season. Öberg had only been on the track twice with the season. The French top biathletes Julia Simon (58,700 euros), Justine Braisaz-Bouchet (56,000) and Lou JeanMonnot (55,000) also obtained high sums for their successes.
For men, the World Cup was particularly worthwhile for Johannes Thingnes Bø. The Norwegian superstar, who will end his career after the season, is said to have fought for 84,500 euros. The high sum is no wonder: Bø had made it five times on the podium, he secured gold three times alone.
At the World Cup there were 25,000 euros for victories in a single race, second and third place still received 20,000 and 15,000 euros. In a relay victory, the team was able to look forward to a total of over 30,000 euros. In the single-mixed, the two winners received a total of 15,000 euros.
