STRELOW Justus

Justus Strelow was the on-target man last season - as he was the two seasons before - closing 94%, 90%, and 94% of his targets, respectively. Since his full-time promotion to Germany’s World Cup squad, the 27-year-old found a system that ensures hitting most of his targets, despite the conditions or location.

In a dazzling display of accuracy at the shooting range, Vanessa Voigt and Justus Strelow clinched victory in the Antholz Single Mixed Relay. Both needed only one extra bullet. Although it may be hard to believe, this is Germany's first-ever win in this format. The battle for second place unfolded fiercely between the relay teams of Norway and Austria. On the final lap Vetle Christiansen emerged victorious over Simon Eder, adding an extra layer of excitement to the race.
