January 10, 2019 (Oberhof, Germany) – American Susan Dunklee led the charge in 10th with one penalty in the women’s 7.5-kilometer sprint on the opening day of the BMW IBU World Cup in Oberhof. Her teammate Clare Egan was 13th also with one missed target.

Italy’s Lisa Vittozzi shot clean to claim the first World Cup victory of her career followed by Anais Chevalier of France who shot clean as well for second with Sweden’s Hanna Oeberg in third also perfect on the range. The top Canadian was Emma Lunder in 46th with two penalties.

“The one thing better than having a great result is having a great result together with a teammate,” said Dunklee. “I’ve trained together with Clare for years both at my home ski club in Craftsbury and on the National Team. She is extremely talented and brings an energy and positivity every day to the team that helps build all of us up. Today was a great day and I’m proud and thankful to have her as a teammate.”
