German Olympic Champion Laura Dahlmeier Seriously Injured in Pakistan Rockfall

News summary

German biathlete and two-time Olympic gold medalist Laura Dahlmeier was seriously injured after being struck by a rockfall while climbing Laila Peak in Pakistan's Karakoram Mountains. The accident occurred at an altitude of approximately 5,700 meters during a mountaineering expedition with her partner, who immediately called emergency services. Due to the remoteness and bad weather, a helicopter could only reach the site the following day, finding no signs of life, and the rescue operation was temporarily halted at nightfall. An international rescue team, with support from the Pakistan army, continues efforts to reach Dahlmeier. Dahlmeier retired in 2019 after a distinguished career including two Olympic gold medals and multiple World Championship titles. The region has been experiencing severe monsoon rains, causing flooding and landslides, which have complicated rescue operations and resulted in other casualties.
