Double Olympic biathlon champion Laura Dahlmeier has died after a mountaineering accident in Pakistan.

The 31-year-old German was caught in rockfall during an expedition in the Karakoram mountains on Monday.

Her climbing partner, Marina Eva, called emergency services after the accident, which occurred at about 5,700 metres (18,700 feet).

Rescue teams, containing expert climbers from Germany and the United States, immediately began a rescue mission but their searches were hindered by adverse weather conditions.
