One of Switzerland’s most talented cross-country skiers is taking on a new challenge. Lea Fischer will compete in biathlon starting in the 2026/2027 season.
He missed the World Championships and flopped at the Olympics. While results are lacking, hundreds of thousands of Euros keep rolling in. Now he’s changing everything ahead of the World Championships in Falun.
Last year, she won two gold medals at the national championships, five years after retiring. Now, the biathlon legend is returning to the national team, this time as a coach.
After leaving the national team, she now also ends her partnership with her ski supplier after ten years, ten World Championship medals, and two Olympic medals.
She is not used to being in the media spotlight all the time. Therefore, the 24-year-old from Norway left the country when the debate about her national team position intensified.
Switzerland-based Pro Team BSV IBEX faced a challenging Season XVII on the Ski Classics World Championship, but Pro Team Director Markus Walser sees plenty of reasons for optimism.
