First Swiss medal within reach. The second day of competition at the Biathlon World Championships brought some fresh snow and windy conditions. In front of around 5,900 spectators, a thrilling women's sprint developed in which the Swiss athlete Lena Häcki-Gross also performed well and could hope for a medal for a long time. Victory went to France's Justin Braisaz-Bouchet, as was also the case at the 2023 World Cup in Lenzerheide.

Sprint Men

Historic World Championship title for J.T. Bø in glorious weather in Lenzerheide. He is now the sole record-holding World Champion. Thanks to perfect shooting, 31-year-old Bø relegated Campbell Wright and Quentin Fillon Maillet to second and third place.

From a Swiss perspective, Sebastian Stalder performed best. With 13th place, the prospects for a successful pursuit competition are promising.

Women Pursuit

Swiss medal within reach until the last shooting. In the end, the experienced German Franziska Preuss won her first World Championship gold in an individual race. Lena Häcki-Gross was in the lead for three laps, but finished fifth in the end.

Men Pursuit

The top duo in the men's pursuit was the same as in the sprint. Johannes Thingnes Bö (NOR) took his 22nd title and the US American Campbell Wright surprised everyone once again, securing the silver medal in the pursuit after the sprint.

Results

Women Individual

Bright blue skies and two more medals for France. Julia Simon took the win ahead of the surprising second, Ella Halvarsson (Sweden) and compatriot Lou Jeanmonnot. 

The Swiss women had no medal hopes.

Results

Men Individual

Swiss men with top result in the sixth day of competition. Niklas Hartweg finished a strong fifth and in the end 16 seconds (or a mistake on the very last shot) made the difference. There was once again great joy for France. Thanks to Tommaso Giacomel, Italy also won precious metal for the first time at these World Championships.

Results

Single Mixed Relay

Everything remained roughly the same in the single mixed relay in Lenzerheide: The best atmosphere, a thrilling competition, lots of sunshine, France on top of the podium and Switzerland just off it. Amy Baserga and Niklas Hartweg put on a great performance for the Swiss biathlon team, but ultimately fell a few seconds short of their first World Championship medal.
