Franziska Hildebrand (born March 24, 1987 in Halle (Saale) ) is a German biathlete and two-time relay world champion.

Life

Franziska Hildebrand grew up in Köthen and was trained for a long time by her father Wolfgang Hildebrand. As a summer biathlete , she started for the Privileged Rifle Club in Cöthen from 1443 , and in winter for the WSV Clausthal-Zellerfeld. She has been studying international management at Ansbach University since 2007 . Hildebrand is promoted as a sports soldier by the Bundeswehr. She holds the rank of sergeant major and is a member of the sports promotion group in the Jägerkaserne in Bischofswiesen . She moved her place of residence to Ruhpolding , where she trains at the Olympic base. Her twin sister Stefanie Hildebrand was also a biathlete until the 2012/13 season.

Athletic career

Beginnings (2002 to 2011)

As a summer biathlete, Hildebrand first took part in the relay race of the Junior World Championships in Jablonec in 2002 and came in seventh with her. The following year she missed the first medal in Forni Avoltri with the relay as fourth. She finished 22nd in the sprint, 14th and eighth in the pursuit of the mass start. At her third Junior World Championships in 2004 in Osrblie , she was sixth in the relay, fourth in the sprint race, ninth in the pursuit and 13th in the mass start race. In the same year she took part in the Junior European Championship in Clausthal-Zellerfeld and won gold in the sprint and silver in the pursuit. The first major event for women was the 2009 Summer Biathlon European Championships in Nové Město . In the sprint she reached eighth place, in the mass start she was eleventh and, together with Robert Janikulla , Wolfgang Kinzner and her sister, fifth in the mixed relay competition.

In winter Hildebrand made her international debut at the beginning of the Junior European Cup season 2005/06. The best results were a victory in the Altenberg sprint in 2006 and the individual win in Obertilliach 2007. In 2006 she started in Presque Isle at her first Junior World Championship. In the individual she was disqualified after the race, in the sprint Hildebrand ran in tenth place and improved in the pursuit race to seventh place. A year later in Martell was a sixth place best result in an individual race. In the sprint she finished 22nd, in the pursuit she improved again, this time by eight places to 14th place. In the relay competition she won the title with Juliane Döll and Carolin Hennecke . Hildebrand repeated this title win at the Junior World Championships 2008 in Ruhpolding at the side of Susann König and Miriam Gössner . In the individual races she did not achieve a top ten result and finished eleventh in the individual, 19 in the sprint and 17 in the pursuit. In 2008 Hildebrand made his debut in the Biathlon European Cup . In Cesana San Sicario she immediately won first points as 25th of the sprint and 14th of the individual. Franziska Hildebrand won her first medal in the adult category at the 2010 European Biathlon Championships in Otepää when she finished 3rd in the individual. One day later she won gold in the relay with her sister Stefanie, Juliane Döll and Kathrin Hitzer . In the 2010/11 season she was the overall winner of the IBU Cup and was also ahead in the individual and pursuit rankings.

Debut in the World Cup and first participation in the Olympics (2011 to 2014)

Due to the overall victory in the IBU Cup 2010/11 and the good results at the German championship in autumn 2011, Franziska Hildebrand, together with Nadine Horchler and Carolin Hennecke, had the opportunity to recommend herself for the World Cup team. Franziska Hildebrand was used for the first time in Östersund, Sweden and took a sensational sixth place in the individual, which was followed by many other good placements in the points. Because of her achievements she was nominated for the season in Hochfilzen , which, however, only reached sixth place. With placings mostly in the points and another top 10 result, she secured a firm starting position in the team for the rest of the season, which she finished with a 15th place overall in the individual ranking and a 23rd place in the overall World Cup. The basis for their good results is primarily their shooting performance, which is consistently at a high level with an average of 88% hit rate.

Although a starting place in the German team became available with the resignation of Magdalena Neuner , Franziska Hildebrand had to recommend herself again for her World Cup appearance at the beginning of the new 2012/13 season . After a mixed start to the season, their place in the team for the second week of the World Cup in Hochfilzen was awarded to Carolin Hennecke and Juliane Döll . In Pokljuka she was used again by the coaches and with a good 13th place in the sprint she reached the qualification requirements of the DSV for participation in the world championships. She was unable to end the pursuit because of a broken ski and thus also failed to qualify for the mass start in Pokljuka. In front of a home crowd in Oberhof , she was able to celebrate her first podium in the World Cup with the German relay with Tina Bachmann , Miriam Gössner and Nadine Horchler with a third place. In Antholz she won the relay competition in the World Cup together with Gössner, Horchler and Andrea Henkel .

The Biathlon World Championships 2013 in Nové Město na Moravě began for Hildebrand with a good placement as 13th in the sprint race, making her the second best German. In the pursuit race, she lost four places, but was again the second best German biathlete. In the individual race she finished 51st with five shooting errors, in the relay race she reached fifth place together with Miriam Gössner, Laura Dahlmeier and Andrea Henkel.

After the end of the 2012/13 season, Hildebrand was no longer considered for the coming season due to mediocre results, especially in terms of running times. However, she did not allow herself to be discouraged by this, but instead set up a new training plan together with her then coaches Ricco Groß and Rüdiger ("Rudi") Schöllmann and worked meticulously on her running style over the summer. Due to good performances in the summer performance control and the German championships, she was back in the German national team at the season opener in Östersund, Sweden. In the course of the 2013/14 season , she qualified with a sixth place in Annecy - Le Grand-Bornand for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia . In total, she achieved four top 10 placements in the World Cup and just missed her first podium finish of her career with fourth place in the Ruhpolding sprint. In Hochfilzen she reached second place in the relay competition together with Franziska Preuss , Andrea Henkel and Laura Dahlmeier . In the same line-up, the German team won the relay race in Annecy-Le Grand-Bornand and with the line-up Preuss, Dahlmeier, Sachbacher-Stehle and Hildebrand the race in Ruhpolding. Because of these results, the German team won the relay world cup of that year and started the relay race at the Olympic Games with start number one. After Franziska Preuss fell during the first lap, the team was unable to make up for the deficit and finished the race in eleventh place. Franziska Hildebrand was used in the individual competition and in the mass start and only reached ranks 38 and 28 respectively.

World Cup gold and establishment among the world's best (2014 to 2016)

First individual podium in Nové Město

After the resignation of Uwe Müßiggang as national coach and the transfer of Ricco Groß as coach of the IBU Cup team, Hildebrand managed to get her - unlike the rest of the national team - allowed to continue working with Ricco Groß and Rudi Schöllmann. Hildebrand was nominated for the World Cup 2014/15 early in summer 2014. She justified this nomination with five top 10 results in the first five individual races. It exceeded after the second World Cup stop the number of top 10 results of the preseason . The basis for these successes was, among other things, their running form, which had improved again compared to the previous season. In the Hochfilzen season she won the youngest all-German biathlon women’s season as a runner starting in second position. She was able to build on this success in Nové Město and achieved her first place on the podium in an individual race with second place in the sprint race. All she had to do was admit defeat to her teammate Laura Dahlmeier by a second in her first World Cup victory; it was also the first German double victory since 2011. However, she could not use this good starting position in the pursuit race the following day. At the last stop, she shot the wrong targets ( Crossfire ) and received a time penalty of six minutes for not running penalty laps.

At the 2015 World Championships , it was used in every race with the exception of the mixed relay. With two sixth and two tenth places, she finished every race in the top 10 and thus on a consistently high level. Nevertheless, her great hope of an individual medal was denied. Also because she lost valuable time in the mass start race with a material fault on the pole. However, the relay race went much better. As a starting runner, she put the competition in the cross-country ski run with fast running times under pressure right at the beginning of the race, after two misses in the standing position and the resulting manually reloaded cartridges, she handed over to Franziska Preuss , who was only 12.5 seconds behind the lead further shortened the gap to 9.3 seconds. Vanessa Hinz in third position prevailed against the competition with only one shooting error and sent Laura Dahlmeier into the race with over 30 seconds ahead of the Russian relay. This finished the race with a comfortable lead of over a minute on the team from France and thus ensured a medal of a German women's relay three years after the success at the home World Cup in Ruhpolding.

She finished the season in fifth place overall. This was the best result of her career to date and also an important contribution to the victory of the Nations World Cup by the German women's team.

Franziska Hildebrand, Östersund 2015

In the third race of the 2015/16 season she reached the podium with a third place in the pursuit of Östersund . On December 11, 2015 she celebrated her first World Cup victory in the sprint in Hochfilzen and stood on the podium together with Maren Hammerschmidt and Miriam Gössner in third place. In the subsequent pursuit, she came fourth and was therefore able to wear the red jersey for the first time in her career. Together with Maren Hammerschmidt, Vanessa Hinz and Franziska Preuß , she finished second in the relay and was once again on the podium. In the sprint in Pokljuka , she reached the podium again with third place. In 2016 she started with her second World Cup victory in the sprint in Ruhpolding . Because of this result, she won the red jersey again, this time as the leader in the Sprint World Cup. Another second place followed a week later at the mass start, also in Ruhpolding. At the World Cup in Canmore , Canada , she finished 43rd after strong gusts of wind and the resulting five shooting errors, but for the first time in her career she had the fastest time in a single race. After a fifth place in the mass start, she won the mixed relay together with Franziska Preuss, Arnd Peiffer and Simon Schempp . She did not start at the World Cup in Presque Isle , USA , but prepared for the World Championships in Germany.

In the same line-up as in Canmore - but with Franziska Preuss as the starting runner - she won the silver medal in the mixed relay at the 2016 Biathlon World Championships in Oslo, Norway . After a tenth place in the sprint race, she improved to fourth place in the pursuit race and missed the medal ranks by a few seconds. In the individual race she was tenth, in the relay race she won the bronze medal together with Franziska Preuss, Maren Hammerschmidt and Laura Dahlmeier behind the teams from Norway and France. In the last race of the world championships, the mass start, Hildebrand finished 14th and ended the only race of the competitions not in the top 10.

As in the previous year, she finished the season in 5th place and was again the best German in the overall World Cup. The German women’s team won the Nations Cup again and also secured victory in the Relay World Cup.

Second world title (since 2016)

Hildebrand 2018 in Oberhof

In the season 2016/17 Franziska Hildebrand prepared again meticulously before. Her goal was to get even better in both sub-disciplines in order to be able to make up important seconds on the trail as well as at the shooting range. She trained a lot with individual training plans and often without the rest of the team. Together with the Austrian Stefan Gstrein, she trained her basic endurance on a bicycle in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, and with the former biathlete Daniel Graf she continued to hone her shooting skills. In addition, she has changed little things in her running style in order to be even more effective and faster on the trail. At the German Championships , she had to break off the sprint race while in the lead due to muscular problems in the shin and thus also missed the pursuit race. In the season she reached together with Stephanie Jesse and Karolin Horchler after a total of seven penalty loops through Jesse only the seventh place; in the mass start, she secured fifth place despite five shooting errors. During the competition the coach said Gerald Hönig with that Hildebrand along with five other German athletes fix for the first World Cup in Sweden Ostersund is nominated. The start of the season was not as successful as last year. Although she was able to qualify early for the World Championships in Hochfilzen with a 5th place in the sprint in Pokljuka , she remained without a podium finish in an individual race until the title fights. Even at the World Championships, she was unable to match her results from 2016 and 2015 . Hildebrand had a hard time running: in the individual competition and in the mass start, she lost a lot of time, especially on the last lap. Nevertheless, she was set up for the women's relay and won the gold medal together with Vanessa Hinz , Maren Hammerschmidt and Laura Dahlmeier . She ended the season without a podium finish in an individual race, in the overall ranking of the World Cup she finished ninth. During the winter she had problems with the shin muscles again, which particularly affected her in the individual races of the World Championships. In addition to targeted training for faster shooting, she wanted to focus more on the shin muscles in the summer. After a roller ski accident in July 2018 in which she injured her right ankle, Hildebrand could only train to a limited extent for many weeks.

With a 13th and a 10th place in the individual race and in the sprint, she already fulfilled the results required by the DSV for a nomination for the Olympic Winter Games in the first two races of winter 2017/18 . Several top 10 results followed, at the sprint in Oberhof she just barely missed another podium finish in fourth place. In the relay races in Hochfilzen and Ruhpolding she was part of the victorious German team. At the Winter Games in Pyeongchang , she was twelfth in the sprint and in the pursuit , in the pursuit race she took two penalties after the first shooting for a medal chance. In the individual competition , she achieved her first top 10 placement at the Olympic Winter Games in ninth place with just one shooting error. Although she would have qualified for the mass start , Franziska Preuss was sent into the race in her place, as Hildebrand was scheduled for a relay deployment and thus received a longer break. In the relay race she went into the race together with Franziska Preuss, Denise Herrmann and Laura Dahlmeier , just like Preuss and Herrmann Hildebrand had to run a penalty loop, the relay finished eighth in the end. Shortly after the end of the Winter Olympics, she particularly criticized the national coach for women in biathlon, Gerald Hönig, for setting up the women's relay. In the first World Cup race after the Olympic Games, the sprint in Kontiolahti , she finished second, half a second behind. This was her only single podium finish of the winter, which she finished in ninth place like last year.

At the beginning of the 2018/19 season , Franziska Hildebrand only achieved a top 10 position in one race by the end of January, but with a 13th place in the sprint and a 9th place in the pursuit race in Hochfilzen, she already achieved that of the German Ski Association in December results required for nomination for the World Championships. In February she improved her performance significantly at the World Cups in North America. After finishing fourth in the shortened individual competition in Canmore, Canada, she won the relay race together with Vanessa Hinz , Denise Herrmann and Laura Dahlmeier . In the US Soldier Hollow , with a third place in the sprint and a second place in the subsequent pursuit race, she was on the podium for the first time this winter in a single race, in the mixed relay she was together with Erik Lesser , Benedikt Doll and Vanessa Hinz also second. At the World Championships in Östersund , Sweden , Hildebrand could not place in any of the top 20 athletes, with a fourth place she also missed the medal ranks with the German women's relay. She finished the World Cup winter in 16th place overall, which is her worst result since the 2012/13 season.

Because of her performances in the World Cup last winter, Franziska Hildebrand had to qualify for participation in the 2019/20 Biathlon World Cup with good results at the German Championships in 2019 . After a third place in the mass start, she was nominated for the World Cup team. Because of a persistent flu illness , she was unable to take part in the last preparatory courses on snow in Norway, but started as planned at the first World Cup races of the season in Östersund . There and at the World Cup races in Hochfilzen , she achieved the points in just one race and did not take part in the competitions of the third World Cup in France. In January 2020, with a 61st place in the sprint, she missed both the points and the qualification for the pursuit race. As a result, she started in the second-class IBU Cup , where she achieved three second and one third place. Hildebrand, who has been able to qualify for participation in the World Championships and Olympic Winter Games for eight years in a row since the World Championships in Ruhpolding in 2012 , was not nominated for participation in the championships in Antholz .

Awards

At the Biathlon World Championships 2013 in Nové Město na Moravě , Hildebrand was named Rookie of the Year for the preseason by the IBU . In 2015 she received together with Laura Dahlmeier , Vanessa Hinz and Franziska Preuss - in the cast of the world championship relay - the Bavarian Sports Prize in the category "Ambassador of Bavarian Sports". In May 2017 she was awarded the Lower Saxony Sports Medal. In 2010 and 2011 she was also elected Lower Saxony State Sportswoman of the Year .

In her first season in the World Cup, her mileage was in the middle of an international comparison. The fastest time - without penalty laps and without the time at the shooting range - she achieved with 17th time in the mass start race in Oslo . Otherwise, she usually finished her races with times around 40th place. Due to her good and safe shooting performance, however, she was able to achieve two top 10 placements and qualify for the World Championships in Ruhpolding.

In the following season , both running and shooting performance remained almost unchanged. Nevertheless, she again managed to qualify for the World Championships in Nové Město na Moravě in the Czech Republic . After the end of the season, however, it was not considered for the following season by the then coaches Uwe Müßiggang and Gerald Hönig . Hildebrand did not want to accept this and worked out new training plans together with Ricco Groß , who was both the discipline trainer of the women's national team and their home trainer in Ruhpolding, in order to improve their running performance and their running style in particular. As a result, she was able to recommend herself for use in the World Cup with good performances both in the summer performance control and in the German championships in summer 2013.

In the winter of 2013/14 she was nominated again for the World Cup team and also used in all races. With a sixth place in the sprint of Annecy / Le Grand-Bornand , which she took at the same time as Franziska Preuss , she qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . At the home World Cup in Ruhpolding, she narrowly missed her first podium finish in fourth in the individual competition, but was able to place for the first time in a World Cup race with the ninth-best time within the ten fastest times of a race. However, she had to contend with pain in her shin throughout the season. Even at the Olympic Games, which she finished without a medal, she was hindered in individual competitions. Nevertheless, the season showed a clear upward trend, in almost half of all races it reached times of the 20 best in a competition.

After the end of the 2013/14 season, there was a change in the German biathlon team. After Uwe Müßiggang resigned as national coach, Gerald Hönig was promoted to national coach for women. His previous assistant coach Ricco Groß was transferred to the team of the second-class IBU Cup and replaced by Tobias Reiter . Hildebrand did not want to come to terms with this and insisted on continuing to work with her previous coaches Groß and Schöllmann to improve her running style and performance. As a result, she only trained in training camps with the rest of the national team, but in Ruhpolding she went her own way. She was nominated for the 2014/15 World Cup at an early stage and justified this decision with six top 10 placements in the first eight World Cup races up until the winter break. She also achieved six times a run time among the ten fastest female athletes in a race. She narrowly missed her first World Cup victory in a single race in Nové Město na Moravě in the Czech Republic , her teammate Laura Dahlmeier relegated her to second place with a lead of just one second. During the season she achieved a top 10 run time 17 times in a total of 25 individual races. Her worst performance of the season was the 21st time in the pursuit race in Östersund, Sweden .

These performances continued in the following season. Although Ricco Groß moved to the Russian Federation to look after the men's team there, she continued to train with her confidante Schöllmann and continued to work on improving her physical performance and running style. In the sprint race in Canmore , Canada , which was characterized by strong, gusty winds, she only achieved 43rd place with five shooting errors, but for the first time in her career she set the fastest time in an individual race. The second best performance of the season was the second fastest run time in the sprint in Ruhpolding .

For the winter of 2016/17 , Hildebrand tried again to increase her mileage. Among other things, she trained her basic endurance with the former Austrian professional cyclist Stefan Gstrein in the Austrian and Swiss Alps. At the base in Ruhpolding, she usually went her own way or trained with the men of the IBU Cup team instead of with the other members of the World Cup team. However , she regularly took part in the training camps of the DSV . In addition, Hildebrand changed the supplier of skis, bindings and boots before winter and started the competition season with new, unfamiliar equipment. By the end of the competition break at the turn of the year, it became apparent that their mileage had deteriorated compared to the competition. Only at the World Cups in Oberhof , Ruhpolding and Antholz did her running form improve and she usually achieved one of the ten fastest times. Her best result of the winter is the second best time in the pursuit race in Oberhof. However, from the Biathlon World Championships in 2017 , her physical performance deteriorated, especially in the title fights, she lost an above-average amount of time on the last lap of the races. By the end of the season, she was only able to record two top 10 runtimes. That winter, she did not achieve a podium finish in any single race.

When she made her debut in the World Cup in the 2011/12 season , Hildebrand was considered a reliable and consistently good shooter due to her performance in the youth and junior division and in the IBU Cup . These skills enabled her to assert herself in the German World Cup team despite her mediocre running form at the time. With an average of almost 90% she finished this season in 12th place overall in this sub-discipline and was thus better than her team members Miriam Gössner , Andrea Henkel and Magdalena Neuner . Only the second newcomer, Nadine Horchler , achieved an even better rate.

Since then, her error rate has remained at a similarly low level, which is why she is usually one of the top 20 shooters in the overall ranking of the World Cup. From the 2014/15 season , she was able to improve her running form significantly without having to accept a deterioration in her shooting performance. A small low point in the statistical shooting performance is due to the increased use in relay races from the 2013/14 season . With the security of three reloading cartridges per shooting insert, shooting is much more risk-friendly and the hit rate also changes. However, the results stabilized over the years and in the 2015/16 season Hildebrand was able to significantly improve her quota in standing shooting. In four relay races, she hit all five targets straight away in a standing position, and in two competitions she required two reloading cartridges each. In individual races, their prone quota has been fairly constant over the years at 91–93%. Standing, this - with the exception of the 2013/14 season - was 84–87% and in the 2015/16 season it was 89%. Together with her running form, she is one of the best active biathletes in the World Cup.

In preparation for the winter of 2016/17 , she sought the support of former biathlete Daniel Graf in order to get even faster at the shooting range. This season, her shooting performance deteriorated to a total of 86%. In the sprint races in Pokljuka , Nové Město na Moravě , Ruhpolding and Kontiolahti , she stayed without a mistake, but could not achieve a podium placement in an individual race due to her weaker running form. In the relay race at the Biathlon World Championships 2017 , she also made no shooting errors and won the gold medal with the German team.
