Laura Dahlmeier, seven times biathlon world champion Laura Dahlmeier does not seem to want to continue her career at all costs in the event of a successful Olympic Games. 24-year-old Dahlmeier said that she hadn’t yet thought about ending her career, but the sport picture:”It’s clear to me that there are other things in life besides biathlon”.

The 24-year-old hadn’t thought about ending her career, but Dahlmeier said to Sport Bild:”It’s clear: For me there are other things in life besides biathlon.”

The passionate hobby mountaineer cited a “world trip over several months as an example. Without appointment and without training plans. Just let yourself drift, without a guilty conscience that you have missed your stabilization training”. Whenever the resignation takes place,”I make such a decision depending on the situation,”said Dahlmeier.

As in the past, Dahlmeier formulated her goal for the winter games in Pyeongchang, which she will start with the sprint on Saturday,”I would like to go home with a medal, preferably a gold one. I feel very fit, the chances are there,”said Dahlmeier, who warned against high expectations after her fabulous World Championships in Hochfilzen.

“I realize that expectations from the outside are very high. But I knew before the start of the season that the five gold medals from the 2017 World Cup were a unique story,”she said:”It may never happen again. At the time, everything was just perfect.”
