German biathlete Franziska Preuss Germany will miss the second stage of the World Cup due to the consequences of the coronavirus, German team doctor Sebastian Torka said.
Preuss leads the overall standings after finishing second in the sprint and pursuit at the inaugural World Cup in Östersund, Sweden. The second stage of the World Cup will take place in Hochfilzen, Austria, from December 8-10.
— Franziska Preuss faces the consequences of the COVID‑19 infection, which unfortunately appeared immediately after Östersund. “She is not fit enough to compete and will not be at the start in Hochfilzen so as not to compromise the rest of the season,” the doctor told the International Biathlon Union (IBU) website.
The women will begin the competition in Hochfilzen with a sprint on Friday afternoon.
