Julia Tannheimer made her international debut at the 2022 Youth World Championships in Soldier Hollow, Utah. She impressed on the ski track but missed out on the medal positions due to some shooting misses. During the winter of 2022/23, she competed in the IBU Junior Cup in Obertilliach, finishing sixth once. She also participated in the Youth Olympic Festival in Forni Avoltri, where she won gold in the individual event and silver in the mixed relay.

At the start of the 2023/24 season, Tannheimer made her debut in the IBU Cup. After two top-ten finishes in Idre, she achieved a remarkable feat in Sjusjøen, winning the mass start 60 despite three shooting misses, becoming the youngest winner of an IBU Cup individual competition in history at 18 years and 137 days old.[4]
