Katharina Hennig had her big international breakthrough at the Olympics last year, when she won a stunning gold in the sprint relay together with Victoria Carl, and a silver in the "regular" relay.

She has also impressed this winter, and she is seventh in the overall World Cup with, among other things, three podium places - one of which is a victory.

Want to save energy

But in tomorrow's individual WC sprint, Hennig, who finished fourth in the Val di Fiemme Tour de Ski sprint in January, will not start.

Several German media outlets write that.

This is so that Hennig, according to Sportschau, saves energy for the distance races.
