Endless career
A list of achievements that would be the envy of any athlete, embellished by three Olympic medals, but above all by participation in an edition of the same Games that will be anything but “normal”. Dorothea Wierer She is preparing to experience the final races of her career, as confirmed in an interview with the newspaper "La Stampa," a conclusion with a capital C for many reasons. The Milan-Cortina Games will begin on February 6th, an event where the Italian biathlon champion will try to improve on her previous experiences. Her aforementioned list of achievements also includes the three bronze medals obtained in Sochi (2014), PyeongChang (2018), and Beijing (2022), so a silver will be enough to improve on this record, although obviously a medal of the most precious metal will be expected.
Gold? No obsession.
The support could make the difference, as the 35-year-old from Brunico pointed out: “These will be the last races of my career: where I grew up and in front of all my fans. I couldn't have finished better, and I say this despite the results. Without the obsession for gold.".
Italian pride
In the interview, there was no lack of comparison with other disciplines: "I envy the crowds of other sports. But only in Italy, because abroad the stands are packed. I'd love to have the support of our tennis players. Even if they're under a lot of pressure right now.“. Finally, a nod to the origins: “I'm proud to be Italian and also to be born in the place where I was born. Some people like to stir up controversy just to show off.".
