Sven Fischer is a German former biathlete, born on 16 April 1971 in Schmalkalden, Thuringia, then part of East Germany, who trained with the WSV Oberhof 05 club and retired after the 2006-07 season. He won the overall World Cup twice, in 1997 and 1999, as well as eight season World Cups in individual disciplines.
