Biathlon: DOSB and VDS: Fair Play Award for Austrian Hauser

The Austrian biathlete Lisa Theresa Hauser has been awarded the “Fair Play Prize of German Sports” by the DOSB and the VDS.

The 24-year-old convinced the jury with her particularly fair behaviour towards her German competitor Vanessa Hinz (Schliersee) at the World Cup mass start race in Oberhof in January last year.

The Austrian had accidentally stepped on the cane, which thus fell by the wayside. Hauser then handed in one of her own sticks so that she could continue her race without hindrance.

She went on with only one stick. Lisa Theresa Hauser, despite the ongoing competition, was only concerned that her competitor should not suffer any disadvantage,”praised the jury.

The prize is awarded annually to sportsmen, women and initiatives that have impressed by extraordinary fair gestures and actions.

The award in the category “Special Prize” went to the rugby division of the USV Potsdam, which celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2017. The Sanssouci Cup for youth teams was organized for the 11th time under the motto “Rugby play against right-wing violence and boredom”.
