Miriam Neureuther

Miriam Neureuther, born Miriam Gössner in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1990, is a former German biathlete and cross-country skier who also competed under her birth surname. She won two junior world titles in biathlon in 2008 and 2009 and was known early for very fast skiing, often making up for poor shooting. At the 2010 Winter Olympics she took silver in the 4 x 5 kilometre cross-country relay, then returned to biathlon, where she won world championship relay gold with Germany in 2011 and 2012 and her first individual World Cup race in December 2012. A back injury kept her out of the 2014 Olympics, and she later returned to the cross-country team. She is married to the alpine skier Felix Neureuther.
