Biathlon: New partner for Julian Eberhard

Julian Eberhard has got a new training partner on board. The 31-year-old from Saalfelden, who has won three World Cup races so far in his career, was officially introduced as the new Technogym brand ambassador at a press conference at the Forsthofgut Hotel in Leogang a few days before the start of the new biathlon season.

Already in preparation for the new season, culminating with the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang in February 2018, Technogym was a valuable and important partner for Julian Eberhard:”I have never before started the winter with such a wide chest – and not only because I have two kilos more muscle mass. The homework’s done, so I’m ready to go!”

Markus Gandler, ÖSV-Racing Director Cross Country and Biathlon, trusts the model athlete for the new season:”He has the same attitude as a Marcel Hirscher – you can only wish for such athletes”.

Eberhard, who won the bronze medal at the World Championships in Hochfilzen with the Austrian men’s relay team, is thus expanding the prominent circle of Technogym brand ambassadors. In addition to him, the ÖSV stars Marcel Hirscher, Anna Veith, Eva-Maria Brem, Max Franz, Julia Dujmovits and the captain of the Austrian women’s national team, Viktoria Schnaderbeck, represent the Italian company.

For the premium manufacturer of fitness equipment, the Salzburg-based company is an ideal testimonial:”With its athletic attitude and potential, Julian fits perfectly into our team. He perfectly embodies our motto’ Champions train with Technogym’,”says Gottfried Wurpes, CEO of the fitness company and representative for Technogym in Austria for 25 years.
