At the 2008 Military World Ski Championships in Hochfilzen and Fieberbrunn, he started not only in biathlon but also in cross-country skiing. With the team he was able to win the bronze medal in the cross-country relay race. The sports soldier also competed in the biathlon World Cup for the first time at Holmenkollen in Oslo and finished 76th in the sprint. For the next season he immediately achieved several top ten placements at the start of the season and was once again able to prove himself in the World Cup.
