BERLIN: German biathlete and double Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier has been at least seriously injured in a mountaineering accident in Pakistan, German media reports citing her management and a Pakistan government spokesperson said on Tuesday.
The accident occurred on Monday when Dahlmeier was hit by a landslide in Hushe Valley in the northern mountain range in Gilgit-Baltistan, said spokesperson Faizullah Faraq.
Germany’s ZDF broadcaster reported that no emergency response had so far reached her.
But Faraq said Dahlmeier, according to reports from the remote valley, was taken away by locals from the landslide site.
One of her companions, identified as Kraus Marina Eva, was still stuck at the site, he said.
