Dahlmeier has won 35 World Cup gold medals across her career
Germany's double Olympic biathlon champion Laura Dahlmeier has been "seriously injured" in a severe mountaineering accident in Pakistan.
The incident occurred in the Karakorum mountains on Monday when the 31-year-old was caught in a rockfall.
Bad weather and the remoteness of the area prevented a rescue helicopter from reaching her until Tuesday morning.
Faizullah Faraq, a provincial government spokesperson, said the rescue operation is still under way with the co-operation of the Pakistan army.
