An elite field of competitors will gather at the Dresden City Biathlon on August 23. The German Ski Association is sending four top athletes: Philipp Nawrath, Justus Strelow, Vanessa Voigt, and Janina Hettich-Walz. They will face strong international competition, including French overall World Cup winner and two-time Olympic champion Éric Perrot and Olympic pursuit champion Lisa Vittozzi from Italy.
“The City Biathlon Dresden is a special event for us at the German Ski Association—elite sports right in the heart of the city, a unique atmosphere, and a stage where our athletes can showcase their skills in front of a home crowd. At the same time, the international field of competitors in Dresden serves as a true benchmark and thus provides a valuable opportunity to assess our standing in the summer,” said the new sports director, Bernd Eisenbichler.
