In the first race, Franziska Preuß almost missed the podium. In Hochfilzen, upper Bavaria ran to the top, to the applause of many fans. With the win, the 30-year-old also leads the overall World Cup.
Franziska Preuß missed the podium by only 0.10 seconds in the first sprint of the season in Kontiolahti. But she could not be beaten in Hochfilzen.
The Bavarian was very fast on the first lap, built with zero mistakes in the prone position and took the track as the leader with a lead of 5.4 seconds over Dorothea wierer. But the Italians showed nerves in the second shooting and had to go into the penalty loop twice.
Preuss slips into the yellow jersey
But Preuss also lost once. She was now 5.4 seconds behind Sophie Chauveau, who made no mistakes. Preuß gave everything on the cross-country ski track and gained second by second. At the end she was 7.7 seconds ahead of the frenchman. Norway’s Karoline Offigstad Knotten came third, like Chauveau who made no mistakes (+10.1 seconds). “I won the race on the road. Actually, after the mistake in the position, I thought it was not enough,” Preuß said happily on ZDF. “I’m very happy, really surprised. I’m very happy about it,” enthused Preuss: “I felt good from the start, I had very good legs. It’s super cool.”
For Preuß it was only the second victory in the World Cup. Bavaria won its only World Cup win to date in the opener in Ruhpolding on 20 January 2019 – 2,154 days ago. With her win, Preuß snatched the yellow jersey from Elvira Öberg. Sweden had a bad day in Hochfilzen and had four penalties.
Grotian with the best World Cup result
Selina Grotian was not happy with her start to the season in Kontiolahti. She was unable to maintain her shooting performance and had to settle for places 48 and 50. In Hochfilzen, native Mittenwald missed only once, was fast on the last lap and finished the race in fifth place. The 20-year-old also booked her ticket to the World Cup with the best result of her young career. “After the start in Kontiolahti, it’s a whole new world for me to be so far ahead,” said Grotian.
Vanessa Voigt (1/+44.7) came in twelfth place. Julia Thannheimer (29th) and Julia Kink (40th) lost twice, Marlene fichtner finished the race in 46th place on her debut after a ticket.
What are some common misconceptions about climate change that people should be aware of?
Sure! To create an engaging interview, I will craft a dialogue style between the Time.news editor and an expert in the field based on the context you provided.

Interview between Time.news Editor and Expert
Time.news Editor (TNE): Welcome to our special segment today! we’re thrilled to have Dr. Anna Smith, a leading expert in climate change, with us. Anna, thank you for joining us.
Dr. Anna Smith (DAS): Thank you for having me! I’m excited to discuss this pressing topic.
TNE: Let’s dive in. As we see more extreme weather events and rising global temperatures, what do you believe is the biggest misconception people have about climate change?
DAS: One of the biggest misconceptions is that climate change is a distant threat. Many think it’s something that will only affect future generations. In reality, it’s happening now and affecting our communities today—more intense storms, heatwaves, and droughts are just the tip of the iceberg.
TNE: That’s a powerful point. In your recent research, you mentioned the socioeconomic impacts of climate change. Could you elaborate on that?
DAS: absolutely.Climate change does not affect everyone equally. Vulnerable populations—like low-income communities and people in developing countries—often bear the brunt of thes impacts. They have fewer resources to adapt, which can lead to increased poverty and displacement.
TNE: So, what steps can individuals take to contribute to the fight against climate change?
DAS: Every action counts! Individuals can reduce their carbon footprints by minimizing waste, opting for public transport, or even making conscious food choices. Additionally, advocating for policy changes and supporting organizations that focus on sustainability can make a meaningful difference.
TNE: Speaking of policy, how crucial are governmental actions in combating climate change?
DAS: They’re vital. Governments must implement regulations that curb emissions and invest in renewable energy. Public policies play a crucial role in driving the transition to a sustainable economy. Collective action from all levels—individual, community, and governmental—is needed to tackle this challenge.
TNE: With the upcoming international climate conferences, what are your expectations this year?
DAS: I hope to see a stronger commitment from nations to meet their targets. The urgency is greater than ever,and I believe we need bold moves,not just promises. The youth are especially vocal—their activism is a reminder that we are accountable for our planet’s future.
TNE: It’s inspiring to hear that optimism. Anna, what message would you like to leave our readers with?
DAS: I would encourage everyone to stay informed and engaged. Climate change can feel overwhelming, but collective actions do matter. Small efforts, when unified, can lead to monumental change. Let’s be proactive and protect our planet,together.
TNE: thank you, Dr. Smith,for sharing your valuable insights with us today. It’s clear that understanding and addressing climate change is a shared duty.
DAS: Thank you for shedding light on this significant issue!
