The flags fly at the shooting range all year round, almost like a fortress it lies there, the Ruhpolding “Chiemgau Arena”, the venerable biathlon stadium at the foot of the Zirmberg. The stadium is firmly anchored on the map of winter sports. In 2012, 250,000 people came to the arena for the World Cup in nine days. The snow fell from above – Magdalena Neuner cleared away discs and medals below. Gold for Germany, gold for the then wintry white Ruhpolding.
