While the German biathletes only achieved a podium place in the single mixed relay in Oberhof, the DSV team wants to attack again in Ruhpolding. The hosts have to improve, especially at the shooting range.
“You can’t be satisfied. We’ve set our sights on more, especially at home,” DSV sports director Felix Bitterling clearly complained on “ZDF” before the end of the competition. It’s not a “general shooting problem, the problem is between the ears,” Bitterling said.
