After living and training in Ruhpolding for two years , she turned her back on the Bavarian community and the local Olympic base in the Chiemgau-Arena in early 2017 . Since then she has been living in her home in the Black Forest again and wants to improve her performance in Furtwangen together with her trainer Roman Böttcher.

Career

Knoll made her international debut at the Biathlon Junior World Championships 2012 in Kontiolahti , where she was 16th in the individual and 15th in the sprint. In the pursuit race, she improved to third place with just one shooting error behind Grete Gaim and Julia Ransom . In the relay race, she finished fifth with Luise Kummer and Marie Heinrich . In 2013 she was 18th in the sprint and 28th in the pursuit in Obertilliach . In Presque Isle , Knoll won the relay race title with Heinrich and Kummer, won bronze in the sprint behind Yevgenia Pavlova and Galina Vishnevskaya and was also seventh in the pursuit and 17th in the individual.

At the 2014 European Biathlon Championships in Nové Město na Moravě , Knoll started at an international women's championship for the first time. In the individual she finished 33rd, was 31st in the sprint, 23rd in the pursuit and won the silver medal in the relay race with Karolin Horchler , Vanessa Hinz and Maren Hammerschmidt . In the 2013/14 season she made her debut in the IBU Cup in a sprint race in Ridanna and immediately won points as 31st. In Ruhpolding , she finished ninth in a sprint for the first time in the top ten a little later. At the last World Cup station at Holmenkollen in Oslo , Knoll made her debut in the Biathlon World Cup in the 2013/14 season , but missed the pursuit race as 66th of the sprint. It took until January 2015 that it was used again in the World Cup in Antholz . In the sprint race, she reached 35th place and won her first World Cup points. However, because of the EM , she decided not to pursue her afterwards. At the European Championships she won silver in the relay.

After the IBU Cups in North America , she flew to the World Cup final in Khanty-Mansiysk and was used there again in the Biathlon World Cup . In the sprint she reached place 58, from which she improved to place 51 in the pursuer. This led to 88th place in the 2014/15 Biathlon World Cup .
