Vanessa Hinz (born 24 March 1992) is a former German biathlete and cross-country skier.[2] Hinz started in her first world cup races at the end of the 2012/13-season. At the 2013 European Championships she won a gold medal with the German relay team. In 2014, she participated in the Winter Olympics in Sochi. She was officially nominated by the DOSB on 23 January 2014,[3] but not taken with the team to Russia. So she had to wait at home as stand-by reserve.[4]
