The Tokyo Olympic champion has bounced back from a disappointing Paris Games, where she lost her title despite winning all six races in the lead up.
She won the World Cup in Papendal, Netherlands last month, after claiming first and second-place finishes for the first two rounds of the European Cup earlier this year.
Shriever, who won the 2022 European Championships, will hope to add to her two world titles when she travels to Denmark for the World Championships from 2-3 August.

Liverpool forward agrees sensational move
A Liverpool forward has agreed a sensational move and rejected the club's new contract offer in the process. At this moment in time, Arne Slot's side are bracing themselves for the loss of several attackers. Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa are all but certain to depart for pastures new. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Meanwhile, Luis Diaz's move to Bayern Munich seems to get closer and closer by the day. With three forwards out, it's understandable why Richard Hughes wants to bring in Alexander Isak, on top of having already secured the future of Hugo Ekitike. With Isak and Ekitike, Liverpool will have a formidable forward line. You'll still have Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah to make up the 'fantastic five' in attack. Not to mention young Rio Ngumoha and potentially Jayden Danns also giving Slot's side options in the rotation. In another world, Ranel Young could have also been part of that conversation. Last season, the 19-year-old regularly trained with Slot's first team. He even made the first team squad on two separate occasions. First against Brighton in the EFL Cup, where Young sat on the bench. Then later against Plymouth in the FA Cup, where again Young was not able to get on the pitch. Those experiences should have pointed towards hope of a breakthrough for the youngster. Despite his contract expiring at the end of the season, Liverpool confirmed that they had made an offer to him and a number of other players. But Young has rejected that offer and he has now agreed a sensational move elsewhere. Remarkably, Young has gone from Liverpool to FK Usce. Yes, you heard that right, the Reds youngster has moved to Usce. This has been confirmed on the club's official Instagram page. Who are they? Last season they were competing in Serbia's third division and earned promotion to the Prva Liga, which is the second division of Serbia. That's where they will be competing this season, and they will be hoping Young will give them enough firepower to stay up and potentially even earn back to back promotions. It's a very rogue move for the Liverpool youngster. At the same time though, it's an opportunity to venture abroad and play regular first team minutes. At 19-years-old, that's what you will want to be doing and Young can now use this opportunity to build his career. A successful season in the Prva Liga can become a springboard to a much higher level. **👉 **Liverpool set to increase transfer budget by £200m 🔗

‘Galatasaray fans gave Osimhen something he never experienced' at Napoli
Okan Buruk insists Victor Osimhen pushed to leave Napoli and because 'the Galatasaray fans gave him the kind of love he'd never experienced before.' The centre-forward is set to finally complete his permanent transfer to Galatasaray for €75m after the two clubs agreed on a payment structure and adequate financial guarantees. It comes after he spent last season on loan in Istanbul, where he scored 37 goals and provided eight assists in 41 competitive appearances. Osimhen only wanted Galatasaray Victor Osimhen Galatasaray (Photo by) 'We will complete the transfer very soon, I believe it will be finalised as soon as possible,' coach Okan Buruk told Tivibu Spor in Turkey, via Sports Digitale. There were more lucrative proposals on the table from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, who Napoli would've preferred to sell to for immediate payment, but the player was determined to stay in Istanbul. Okan Buruk: 'Osimhen'i bekliyoruz. Osimhen'i ikna etmek çok önemliydi, bunu Galatasaray taraftarı yaptı! Biz aynı şeyi Icardi'de de görmüştük. Osimhen çok büyük paraları reddetti.' – Her Macerayı Hareketlendiren Mükemmel Bas @ankerturkiye @cigdemmgunal x @ErkutOzturk — Tivibu Spor (@tivibuspor) July 25, 2025 'Galatasaray fans gave Osimhen the kind of love he'd never experienced before. That is why I always believed that he would stay. He hasn't let us down either. 'Everyone put in a great deal of effort to secure this deal, starting from our President, but the most important part was done by the fans. They made Osimhen experience something special. 'We saw a similar outcome with Mauro Icardi's transfer here.' Napoli forward and Serie A star Victor Osimhen celebrates after scoring a goal during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first Leg football match between Napoli and Barcelona at the Diego-Armando-Maradona stadium in Naples on February 21, 2024. (Photo by Tiziana FABI / AFP) (Photo by TIZIANA FABI/AFP via Getty Images) Osimhen was given a very warm welcome by Napoli fans when first arriving and became a hero when helping them to their first Serie A title in over 30 years, as well as being crowned Capocannoniere. However, after agreeing a new €10m per season contract, he told the club that he wanted to move on and struggled to find anyone ready to pay the €110m release clause. His move on loan to Galatasaray in September 2024 was because the other transfer markets had shut and he faced the prospect of sitting in the stands for at least six months.
