In Lenzerheide
World Championship gold to Frenchwoman! ÖSV ladies disappoint
France's Justine Braisaz-Bouchet has won her second individual World Championship title with gold in the sprint in Lenzerheide. The 28-year-old triumphed on Friday in the snowy conditions 9.8 seconds ahead of the German World Cup leader Franziska Preuß, who also recorded one penalty.
Finland's Suvi Minkkinen, who has already impressed several times this season, took bronze without missing a shot. (+10 sec.). The Austrians disappointed, Lisa Hauser finished 26th with two penalties.
Anna Gandler (2 misses) came 33rd, Tamara Steiner (1) finished 35th and World Championship debutant Anna Andexer (3) just made it into the chase for the top 60 on Sunday in 58th place. The men's sprint with little chance of Austrian top results follows on Saturday.
Hauser left "open window" unused
Hauser, who has been ailing in her World Championship preparations, missed one shot in both starts in tricky wind conditions. "In principle, I'm not at all dissatisfied with the race, also as far as the track is concerned. I didn't feel quite so comfortable yet, but I managed well. We should have shot zero, then there would have been a window open, unfortunately we didn't quite make use of it," Hauser told ORF. The former mass start world champion finished 30th, one and a half minutes behind the winner, so her starting position for the pursuit race is not very promising. Gandler still has 20 seconds more to make up. "I basically felt good, but I didn't really get going," said Gandler.
Braisaz-Bouchet skated to gold in the mass start, as she did at the 2022 Olympics and last year's World Championships, and took silver in the 2024 World Championships sprint. The penalty-free local hero Lena Häcki-Groß narrowly missed out on a medal in fourth place. The Swiss athlete, coached by Sandra Flunger from Salzburg, was just 1.4 seconds behind bronze.
