Anna Gandler, after a 2023/24 season that produced the five best results of her career encountered a speed bump that derailed her 2024/25 season. Extended illness and a hospital stay forced her to end the season early, take an extensive rest, and slowly return to training. Now after a solid summer, a 19-for 20 pursuit in Antholz last month, and another 19-for-20 this this weekend’s Austrian Champs short individual, the 2020 IBU Junior Pursuit World Champion is in a good place. “I am really happy with that performance and the developments in my training.”
