Career

Beginnings

Arnd Peiffer made his first international appearance in December 2007, when he finished fifteenth in the individual junior European Cup and clinched his first victory in the following sprint. In Langdorf-Arbersee he achieved another sprint victory in January 2008. The highlight of the season was the Junior World Championships in Ruhpolding, where he won two bronze medals, in the sprint behind Anton Schipulin and Florian Graf and with the relay team in the line-up of Simon Schempp , Manuel Müller , Peiffer and Florian Graf. At the end of the season he received his first appearances in the European Cup and was able to secure top ten results in Cesana (San Sicario) as ninth in the sprint and seventh in the pursuit.

First World Cup season (2008/09 season)

In the 2008/09 season Peiffer was classified in the national team B squad in course group Ib and used in the IBU Cup . Already at the first stop in Idre he achieved fourth place in the sprint and was also able to celebrate his first podium finish in third in the sprint in Obertilliach at the second event in the IBU Cup. The same result in Martell and a fourth place in the subsequent pursuit secured him the lead in the overall ranking of the IBU Cup ahead of Daniel Böhm . On January 8, 2009 he made his debut as a member of the German 4 × 7.5 km relay in Oberhof in the World Cup . As the penultimate runner, he took over from Michael Rösch in third place and was able to take the lead with a strong mileage and two faultless shooting bouts. Toni Lang as the final runner could not quite keep up with the pace of the Austrians and Russians and led the relay to third place after Michael Greis ' penalty lap in the first section and thus Peiffer on the podium in his first World Cup appearance. This third place was later corrected to second after the Russian relay was disqualified for Yaroshenko's doping offense. Two days later in his first individual sprint race, he finished eighth and thus met the qualification standard for the World Championships . On his first appearance in Pyeongchang , Peiffer reached bronze with Andrea Henkel , Simone Hauswald and Michael Greis in the final with the mixed relay. He ran the second fastest lap of all men after Ole Einar Bjørndalen . At his second start in South Korea he also won a bronze medal with Rösch, Christoph Stephan and Greis in the men's relay. Peiffer only needed one reload cartridge and was also the fastest runner on the third lap. At the last World Cup station of the season in Khanty-Mansiysk , Peiffer achieved his first victory in a World Cup race in the sprint. With the second best mileage and a faultless shooting, he prevailed over the world elite.

First Olympic Games (2009/10 season)

From the start of the 2009/10 Biathlon World Cup season, Peiffer was one of the firmly nominated starters for the German team in the World Cup. Alongside Michael Greis, he was the first to meet the nomination criteria for qualifying for the Olympic Winter Games and was consistently ranked among the points and celebrated his second World Cup victory in the sprint in Antholz. In the overall ranking of the World Cup, he finished ninth in the final accounts. In the last race of the 2009/2010 season in Khanty-Mansiysk, he won the world title in the mixed relay together with Magdalena Neuner , Simone Hauswald and Simon Schempp .

Arnd Peiffer took part in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. He was 37th in the sprint competition and held this position in the pursuit, so 17th place in the mass start was his best result. With the German season he was fifth.

Sprint World Champion (2010/11 season)

In the following World Cup season , Peiffer was one of the most consistent German starters. He ran into the points in every race, with a second place in the sprint in Oberhof and his third individual World Cup victory in Presque Isle also in the sprint. He confirmed his good form at the start of the 2011 World Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk. In the German mixed relay, in which Henkel, Neuner, Peiffer and Greis were the strongest biathletes of the current season, he took over a 20-second lead from Magdalena Neuner and defended this lead against second Ole Einar Bjørndalen. The final runner Michael Greis lost the top position, but Peiffer won his third world championship medal in the mixed relay with silver. Two days later, Peiffer became world champion in the sprint. With the second best mileage and only one shooting error, he kept Martin Fourcade in check and secured his first world title in an individual competition. In the pursuit, he narrowly missed a medal in fourth. A few days later, Peiffer finished fifteenth in the individual and thus achieved his best result to date over the long individual distance in the World Cup. With a fifth place in the season final race on Holmenkollen , Peiffer secured fourth place in the overall ranking of the 2010/2011 World Cup. He established himself as one of the strongest runners in the world class and was the best German of the winter.

Fourth in the overall World Cup (2011/12 season)

Arnd Peiffer (in Hochfilzen, 2012)

The 2011/12 season began for Peiffer with a 40th place in Östersund . In the sprint and then in the pursuit, he was able to improve to 22nd place. But he could only reach the top ten at the next World Cup station. After he was 18th in the sprint in Hochfilzen , he improved to ninth place in the pursuit. Since the competitions could not take place in Annecy as planned due to lack of snow , they started again in Hochfilzen. In the now scheduled sprint he was only 46th and was thus outside the points for the first time since the beginning of the 2009/10 season. In the pursuit he was able to improve by 19th place to 27th place. The new year started out on a very positive note. First he finished fourth in the relay and was able to improve the result from Hochfilzen by two places, then he prevailed in the sprint with one mistake and one second ahead of Simon Fourcade and secured his fifth World Cup victory. In the subsequent competitions in Nové Město he received a time credit of 21 seconds after an alleged shooting error due to a defective target and was thus second behind Anton Schipulin together with Martin Fourcade. After he had secured another top ten result in Antholz after finishing 5th in the sprint, he achieved his second win of the season in Oslo. After a faultless sprint he was only 0.7 seconds behind Yevgeny Garanitschew , since he made two mistakes in the pursuit and Peiffer did not shoot any, Peiffer won the pursuit with a 31 second lead over Svendsen. This was Peiffer's first non-sprint win.

After the competitions in Oslo, the world championships took place in Ruhpolding. There he won the bronze medal of the mixed relay at the start with Henkel, Neuner and Birnbacher. He could not defend his sprint title from the previous year with three shooting errors and he was only 37th. In the pursuit he was able to improve by 20th place to 17th place despite three more mistakes. With a seventh place in the individual, he then reached the top ten at these world championships for the first time. He won his second bronze medal in the men's relay and was seventh in the mass start for the second time at this World Cup.

It was then much more successful in Khanty-Mansiysk, in all three races (sprint, pursuit and mass start) he came in second. He finished the season again as fourth and second best German behind Birnbacher. In the pursuit classification he was third for the first time and in the sprint and mass start classification he was also in the top ten.

No podium (2012/13 season)

The following season started well for Peiffer with 11th place in the singles in Östersund. Then there were two top ten results in the sprint and pursuit. In Hochfilzen he only stayed in the points with a 40th place in the sprint, but was able to improve by 15th places in the pursuit. In the subsequent competitions, after three shooting errors in the sprint, he only finished 73rd and thus missed the pursuit for the first time. At the mass start he was able to take part in the mass start thanks to his good preliminary performances, but was last with three mistakes and the worst running time. In Oberhof he was able to achieve third place with the relay and with a twelfth place in the sprint he came back close to the top ten. In Antholz he almost missed the pursuit again with a 57th place, but since he missed nine times there he was last there. But since six athletes had not started, he improved to 54th place.

The world championships in Nové Město ended for the first time without a top ten result for Peiffer. His best result was a 16th place in the sprint. With the men's relay, however, he was able to win bronze again. At the following competitions in Oslo he was able to achieve two more top ten results and also at the World Cup final in Khanty-Mansiysk he was again among the top ten in the pursuit. Overall, he only reached 18th place, which was his bad result for a full season. Only in his first World Cup season was he worse.

Second Olympic Games (2013/14 season)

Arnd Peiffer (persecution in Oberhof, 2014)

The Olympic season started with a 37th place at the start in Östersund. With a fifth place in the sprint, he also had a good starting position for the pursuer, but could not use this because the pursuer was dropped without replacement due to strong winds. In Hochfilzen he was eleventh in sprint and pursuit. In Annecy he finished second behind Russia with Erik Lesser, Andreas Birnbacher and Simon Schempp in the relay. Since Alexander Loginow was subsequently disqualified, Germany later won this relay race. In the individual competitions things didn't go so well with places around 40. The new year began with eighth place in Oberhof, which, however, could not be defended in the pursuit. On the other hand, after a season without a podium finish in Antholz, thanks to flawless shooting, came third in the sprint. Won had Lukas Hofer and Simon Schempp, which at the same time had reached the goal, Peiffer had a backlog of 4.3 seconds for the two winners. In the pursuit he lost two places with three mistakes and finished fifth.

At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , Peiffer won the silver medal with the German relay team. For this, he was awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf on May 8, 2014 by Federal President Joachim Gauck . In the individual competitions, however, he clearly missed the top ten; his best result was an 18th place in the mass start. On the final day he was able to take part in the 50 km cross-country skiing and came in 40th among 64 starters. For winning the silver medal, he was honored with the silver laurel leaf.

After these unsatisfactory results, the World Cup in Pokljuka continued with a third place in the sprint. The result of this sprint was extremely close, the first four athletes crossed the finish line within three seconds. After six mistakes, Peiffer was only 19th in the pursuit and in the mass start it was only enough for 16th place. In Kontiolahti he also reached the sprint podium with a third place. He finished the season with two top ten places in Oslo. With this Peiffer came back among the top ten athletes in the world and was 7th in the overall ranking. That made him the best German. In the sprint classification he finished second without a win.

Post-Olympic season (2014/15 season)

Peiffer started the season without a top ten result. In Pokljuka he missed a chase for the second time and he was unable to take part in the first two mass starts of the season due to poor performances. Things then changed for the better in Ruhpolding. With one mistake he was able to secure third place in the sprint and thus qualified for the mass start in which he was ninth. In Antholz he reached a tenth and an eleventh place and in Nové Město there were two ninth places. The last races before the World Championships were then in Oslo. There he was initially 25th in the individual. In the sprint, after faultless shooting, he prevailed against Martin Fourcade, who also remained faultless, and won a race for the first time in three years. Last time he won the chase at this very place. This good dress rehearsal was supported by a second place with the relay.

The world championships took place in Kontiolahti this year. For Peiffer, with a 14th place as the best result, they were only slightly more successful in the individual disciplines than the two years before. With Lesser, Böhm and Schempp, the German relay team was able to prevail and became relay world champion. At the World Cup final in Khanty-Mansiysk, two sixth and one seventh places were added. Due to the bad start to the season, it was only enough for 13th place overall. In the individual sprint ranking, he still achieved a top ten placement with eighth place.

Fall in Presque Isle (2015/16 season)

The following season began unevenly for Peiffer . At the opening race in Östersund he was only 51st in the individual. In the sprint, however, he was able to secure second place behind Martin Fourcade, 51 seconds behind. Thanks to good shooting, he was able to defend it in pursuit. He had to skip the races in Hochfilzen due to illness. In Pokljuka, however, he did not get beyond a thirteenth place. The new year began initially without another top ten placement. In the second mass start of the season, however, it was enough to finish fifth. At the competitions in Antholz, a fifth place in the pursuit and a ninth place in the sprint were added to Peiffer's top ten results. After the competitions in Antholz, competitions were held again in North America after five years. This started for Peiffer with an eleventh place in the sprint in Canmore. In difficult wind conditions, Peiffer was able to secure ninth place with four errors. He competed in the mixed relay competition with Franziska Hildebrand , Franziska Preuß and Simon Schempp. This was won by the German relay team with a lead of over a minute. Then the competitions took place in Presque Isle . There Pfeiffer was eleventh in the sprint; in the subsequent pursuit, however, he fell on the final lap and suffered a severe concussion.

After this abrupt end to the North American competitions, Peiffer continued at the World Championships in Oslo. This started promisingly with a silver medal in the mixed relay competition. The German season started with the same line-up as in Canmore. With a 7th place in the sprint, he reached the top ten for the first time after three years without a top ten result at a major event. With three mistakes it was only enough for thirteenth place in the pursuit. With the men's relay he was then able to win his second silver medal in these world championships. Peiffer then finished with a fifth place in the mass start.

At the World Cup finals in Khanty-Mansiysk he was able to achieve a podium with a third place in the sprint. In the overall ranking it was enough for eleventh place. In the sprint classification he reached fourth place and in the individual classification he remained without a place for the first time because he had not achieved a result there in the points.

Mixed relay world champion (season 2016/17)

The 2016/17 season began for Peiffer with a second place in the mixed relay competition. He then finished 32nd in the individual. In the spring, he achieved his first podium in the second race of the season. He finished third with a miss, but slipped one place back in the pursuit and finished fourth. The remaining competitions of the year ended in the points but without a top ten placement. The new year started with two mistakes and a 15th place in the sprint in Oberhof. With a good pursuit he was able to work his way up to second place. With a fourth and a fifth place in Ruhpolding, he continued these good results. With a ninth place in the individual in Antholz, he was once again among the top ten. Together with Erik Lesser, Benedikt Doll and Simon Schempp, the German relay team prevailed against France with a 2.2 second lead and won the race. The last race before the World Championships, the mass start, was only 21st.

The world championships in Hochfilzen started with a victory. Together with Vanessa Hinz , Laura Dahlmeier and Simon Schempp, Arnd Peiffer became mixed relay world champion. In the individual competitions, however, he did not get beyond tenth place and the men's relay just missed a medal with fourth place. In the test competitions for the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, he did not make it into the top 20 athletes in any race. Back in Europe, he finished fifth in the Kontiolahti sprint, 22 seconds behind the leading Martin Fourcade. With an error-free shooting he was able to prevail in pursuit in the final sprint against Simon Eder and Emil Hegle Svendsen and won the race. At the World Cup final in Oslo he was able to achieve fifth place again in the mass start. After a two-year break, he was again among the top ten in the world.
