The legendary biathlete set a world record for the fastest ascent and descent of a Himalayan peak.

Two-time Olympic biathlon champion Laura Dahlmeier set a world record for the fastest ascent and descent of Mount Ama Dablam in Nepal.
Легендарная биатлонистка установила мировой рекорд по скорости восхождения на вершину горы в Гималаях и обратно.

Dahlmeier, who retired in 2019 at the age of 25, ascended from the base camp at an altitude of 4,576 m to a peak of 6,812 m in just 12 hours, 1 minute, and 11 seconds. No woman has achieved this feat so quickly before.

The legendary biathlete shared relevant photos and videos on social media and is completely thrilled with her experience in the Himalayas.

It is worth noting that the men's world record for speed climbing is held by Frenchman Mathieu JACQUEMO, who in 2023 completed the ascent and descent in 6 hours and 24 minutes.
