On Instagram, Lesser posts the pictures of the race, including his glittering win.
“It’s easy if it’s not an important race. The prize for the winner is a gold pin,” said the biathlete with a smile.
The sports soldier also adds: “It’s not a medal, but it’s something.”

Lesser has to watch: German sprint quartet nominated
YESTERDAY AT 03:40
Unofficial races of this type are not uncommon at major sporting events such as the Olympic Games. They enable the athletes who don’t play as often to keep fit and keep the tension high.
In addition to Lesser from Team D, 25-year-old David Zobel from Garmisch-Partenkirchen also fought for the golden pin.
Last chance for Lesser is the relay
After the German athletes have already competed in the mass start and pursuit in addition to the individual and the sprint, Lesser only has the men’s relay left to go home with a medal.
Since Zobel is unlikely to start, it is important for Lesser to take the motivation of the golden pin with him and get him on his skis for the relay.
