You have won a bronze medal in the Mixed Relay at the 2014 Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia, and again at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea you won the bronze medal in the mixed relay? Tell us more about your experience of these two of your exceptional achievements?
Dorothea Wierer:
The Olympic Games are the most important events in the life of an athlete and therefore they bring you also a lot of pressure. Achieving these two podiums with my teammates was such a beautiful moment. In our sport everyone has to do his own thing during the competition but it was good to see that we can get great results also in the team competitions. It shows that we are a strong and competitive team over years.
Namita Nayyar:
You have won in Biathlon World Championships a total of 10 medals (3 gold, 4 silver, 3 bronze). How do you manage such a remarkable achievement and which of these wins is most dear to your heart and why?
Dorothea Wierer:
Winning these medals is a process over the years. Every year of hard training and every race teaches you something new and I tried to use all this experience and the good shape of my body in that races. The most beautiful podium at the world championship was the one I could celebrate at my home races in Antholz 2020. I have been training there since I started with biathlon and therefore winning at this place means very much to me.
