Fischer Once Again Most Successful Ski, Boot And Binding Brand At The Biathlon World Championships Lenzerheide

The Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, came to an end on Sunday in glorious sunshine. There were many surprises in the 12 events, but one thing remains constant: Fischer Once Again Proved To Be The Most Successful Ski, Boot And Binding Brand At The Biathlon World Championships Lenzerheide 

In total, Fischer athletes won an impressive tally of 10 gold, 8 silver and 14 bronze medals. Fischer confirmed its position as the Nordic number one at the World Championships by taking home 48.5% of all medals awarded.

After the final men's mass start, the sun made Johannes Thingnes Bø's (NOR) medals shine. The figurehead of the Fischer Race Family became world champion in the sprint, mass start, and relay together with his brother Tarjei Bø (NOR). The successful Norwegian Johannes Thingnes Bø also won silver in the single mixed relay and bronze in the mass start, making him the most successful athlete at the World Championships and contributing greatly to Fischer's overall performance.

“It was an amazing World Championship!” said a satisfied Johannes Thingnes Bø. “We had ups and downs within the team. But in the end, these five medals feel incredibly good.”

The French national anthem could be heard most often at the medal ceremonies. France's Quentin Fillon Maillet secured a complete set of medals with gold, silver and two times bronze in the mixed relay, relay, as well as sprint and individual events. Justine Braisaz-Bouchet and Lou Jeanmonnot made the Fischer medal statistics rise with two gold and one bronze, while rookie Ocean Michelon won her first World Championship medals with gold and silver.

Norway's Maren Kirkeeide also picked up the first World Championship medals of her career with relay silver and mass start bronze, as did Finland's Suvi Minikkinen, who surprised everyone with silver in the sprint. The Czech mixed relay team of Jessica Jislova, Tereza Vobornikova and Vitezslav Hornig had already caused a big surprise with silver at the opening event.

Karoline Knotten (NOR) took relay silver, Philipp Nawrath (GER) nabbed bronze in the mixed relay and relay, and Anna Magnusson, Hanna Öberg (both SWE), Selina Grotian, Danilo Riethmüller and Philipp Horn (all GER), each took bronze in the relay events, all of which contributed to Fischer's impressive medal tally.

The new Speedmax skis and boots from Fischer celebrated their premiere at the World Championships with all of these successes. In addition to the familiar bright yellow, the new products stood out in the competition and on the podium thanks to the additional “Racing Teal” accents.
