“I am world champion, I have a lot of fun,” Lisa Hauser realized yesterday at the Pokljuka goal. The 27-year-old Tyrolean even wrote a golden final chapter in the World Biathlon Championships in the massive outing after two silver medals in these title fights. Wolfgang Rottmann 2000 and Dominik Landertinger 2009 were the only biathlon world champions so far from a national perspective. Hauser is the local first lady who has now won the coveted title.
With 20 direct hits, she helped dictate the 12.5km run from the start, took the lead after the second shot, and was the only flawless athlete on the entire field to run more than 20 seconds ahead of Ingrid Tandrevold (1 loop penalty) and the World Cup leader Tiril Eckhoff, who has already been golden several times, to victory in Pokljuka. On the last lap, Hauser already knew what was happening. “I already had a smile on my face.”
In Slovenia, he had already won silver at the start of the mixed relay and in the chase. Her title of runner-up in hunting races had already been historic, after all, in the 37-year history of the women’s world championships, there had only been one ÖSV medal, in 1984 by Andrea Grossegger. In the individual, Hauser narrowly missed the fourth precious metal. The two shooting errors in the final helped her yesterday. “I just thought: don’t do it as in the individual, and then I calmly worked on my series,” the nervous Hauser said yesterday. The single harvest will probably only be held in the summer months due to the crown situation. “But with the family I will certainly toast a small group at home,” says Hauser.
Congratulations from ÖSV President Peter Schröcksnadel came from Cortina yesterday. “Great! As you can see, we are very positioned in the association. We have other sports in which we are also good, not only in skiing,” said the head of the association.
It should be noted that the biathlon, in addition to the density of performance, puts the Alps in the shadow in terms of television audience around the world.
Eder just lost bronze
Tomorrow Simon Eder will turn 38, but the Salzburg veteran proved once again yesterday that age is just a number – he only lost the race for a medal on the last lap.

After his only miss on the last shot, he had to pass Johannes Dale (Nor) and Quentin Fillon Maillet (Fra) on the last lap. The gold went to Norway’s Sturla Holm Laegreid, who was already victorious in the individual and, like Eder, recorded a penalty loop. “I can only be happy with this fourth place. I saw that I can still keep up,” said the silver mixed relay, who would like to continue mixing in the next Olympic season. (fei)
