Biathlon World Cup in Oberhof

Every year, international biathletes descend upon Thuringia for the Biathlon World Cup, held in Oberhof's DKB Ski Arena. In their wake, tens of thousands of fans from Germany and all around the world flock to this small resort to cheer on their favourites in the relays, sprints and mass start races. Six video screens help spectators keep the competitors in view as they negotiate the winding course. And more than 30 stalls serving a range of Thuringian specialities ensure that any hunger pangs before, during or after the races are kept firmly at bay.
