Athletic career

Beginnings in cross-country skiing (2007 to 2012)

In 2011 she just missed a medal at the German Championships in Hirschau as fourth place in the 5-kilometer freestyle and a little later she was 58 at the Junior World Championships in Otepää over the same distance. In 2012 she was third in the freestyle sprint at the German Junior Championships 2012 in Oberwiesenthal . In Erzurum , she started for the second time at a junior world championship, where she was 24th in the freestyle sprint, 25th in the skiathlon and fourth in the German relay.

For the 2012/13 season , Hinz switched from cross-country skiing to biathlon and was immediately accepted into the German B national team. She made her international debut at the Junior World Championships in Obertilliach in 2013 and finished 19th in the individual, ninth in the sprint, just missed an individual medal as fourth in the pursuit and won it with gold in the relay race alongside Franziska Preuss and Laura Dahlmeier . This was followed by her debut in the IBU Cup in Osrblie , where she immediately won points as 34th in the individual and 18th in the sprint. At the European Championships in 2013 from Bansko she won with Nicole Wötzel , Franziska Preuss and Karolin Horchler the title with the German relay team and finished sixth of the function SINGLE. In the sprint she missed a good placement due to her six shooting errors, five of them in the first shooting. In the pursuit race she also made four mistakes in two stages and was then taken out of the race as a lapped runner. Towards the end of the season , Hinz surprisingly made her first appearance in the World Cup in an individual in Sochi and after good shooting performance with only one mistake after running problems on the demanding course for the Olympic Winter Games in the Laura biathlon and cross-country skiing center, he missed by a few places in 45th place the point ranks.

In the winter of 2013/14 , Hinz won her first IBU Cup races in Ridnaun with two sprints. In Antholz she was used again in the World Cup, where she achieved the 40th place after a 49th place in the sprint in the pursuit and thus the points for the first time. Although she did not meet the qualification criteria of the DSV for the Olympic Games in Sochi , she was nominated as the sixth athlete. As a substitute runner, however, she did not travel to Sochi. In March, she was used again in the World Cup in Pokljuka and improved after 57th place in the sprint to 36th place in the pursuit. In Oslo , she finished both sprint and pursuit in 21st place.

In the 2014/15 season , Hinz started again in the World Cup and performed well there. At the World Cup in Hochfilzen , she was sixth in the sprint with faultless shooting, with which she achieved her first top ten placement in the World Cup. Then she was used for the first time in a relay race, and running in third place she achieved her first World Cup victory with team mates Luise Kummer , Franziska Hildebrand and Franziska Preuss . In Pokljuka she was now on course for victory in the mass start and was eleventh after two mistakes in the last shooting. In the sprint in Oberhof she finished seventh under difficult conditions. After a third place in Ruhpolding with the relay, she had to take a break in Antholz due to an illness. A little later she achieved her best individual result in the World Cup with a fourth place in Nové Město na Moravě in the pursuit, after she was a sprint 12. went into the race.

At her first world championship in Kontiolahti she was 49th in the sprint, 37th in the pursuit and 44th in the individual.

Despite her gold medal at the 2015 Biathlon World Championships , Vanessa Hinz first had to qualify for inclusion in the German World Cup team. After the last preparatory course in Sjusjøen , Norway , she was officially nominated for the 2015/16 Biathlon World Cup and came second in her first race, the mixed relay in Östersund, Sweden, together with Franziska Hildebrand , Benedikt Doll and Simon Schempp . With her results in sprint and pursuit, she was able to meet the DSV's internal qualification criteria for the 2016 Biathlon World Championships in Oslo during the first World Cup in Östersund . At the second World Cup in Hochfilzen, Austria, she was second again in the women's relay, together with Franziska Hildebrand, Maren Hammerschmidt and Franziska Preuß . At the biathlon in Antholz, she failed to qualify for the pursuit race with a 70th place in the sprint. In the relay, both she and Miriam Gössner had to complete a penalty loop, the German team only reached tenth place in the end. She skipped the competitions in Canmore and Presque Isle to stabilize her form and to prepare extensively for the World Championships in Oslo, Norway. She won a sprint and a mass start as part of the German Cup, which she used as test competitions for the World Championships. In Oslo she again failed to qualify for the pursuit race with a 61st place in the sprint, in the individual competition she took 37th place with three shooting errors. As a result, she was replaced by Maren Hammerschmidt for the women's relay. She finished the last two races of the season - sprint and pursuit in Khanty-Mansiysk , Russia - outside of the points. She finished 27th in the overall ranking of the World Cup.

To prepare for the 2016/17 season , Vanessa Hinz was assigned to the B-team and the first training group of biathletes of the DSV .

At the mass start in Nové Město na Moravě she missed her first podium in the World Cup in an individual race with a 4th place, but with the German women's relay she won the races in Pokljuka , Ruhpolding and Antholz . At the World Championships, she was used as a starting runner in the mixed and women's relay, which she won together with Laura Dahlmeier , Arnd Peiffer and Simon Schempp and with Maren Hammerschmidt , Franziska Hildebrand and Laura Dahlmeier. Hinz missed the competitions in Pyeongchang and Kontiolahti due to illness, at the season finale at Holmenkollen in Oslo she was back at the start, but only achieved points in one of three races.

Together with Erik Lesser , she formed a team for the first race of the 2018 season , the single-mixed relay in Östersund, Sweden .

A protest by the German team was rejected. Vanessa Hinz was not nominated for the women's relay. After the German team only reached eighth place after a total of three penalty loops, Franziska Hildebrand criticized the German national coach Gerald Hönig and in particular the decision not to send the successful world championship season into the race and to forego both Hinz and Hammerschmidt. On March 11, 2018, Vanessa Hinz achieved her first podium finish in the mass start over 12.5 kilometers in Kontiolahti, Finland, and thus her first World Cup victory in an individual competition.
