Setback for Franziska Preuß? Coach Mehringer: “Of course it wasn’t easy for her”

German biathlon coach Kristian Mehringer addresses Franziska Preuß’s situation after a recent injury. He concedes that the setback has been difficult for the German leader but stresses that Preuß remains central to the DSV women’s team and will be closely watched by rivals when she is back on the range and tracks.

Mehringer hints at a careful approach to her comeback, balancing health with competitive ambitions. He notes that the spotlight on Preuß as a top performer makes the mental side of recovery just as important as the physical, and that the team will support her through the process so she can return to international contention as soon as she is ready.
