Ex-biathlete Katja Haller is a mother for the first time

Mother Katja and her little son are doing well. The offspring of the former biathlete from Rindnaun and the British biathlete Lee-Steve Jackson will be called Lars. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the prominent mother's Facebook profile was overflowing with congratulations, including from numerous former companions in the biathlon scene.

Katja Haller was involved in the Biathlon World Cup for more than ten years. She made her debut in Hochfilzen in the 2000/2001 season. In the Austrian biathlon mecca, the 32-year-old from Ridnaun also achieved the best placement in the World Cup: she came tenth in the individual race in the 2008/09 season. In a total of 187 appearances in the World Cup, she achieved nine top 20 placements. Katja Haller achieved her best result in the overall World Cup in the 2010/11 season when she was ranked 36th in the rankings after the last race.

Haller also took part in the Winter Olympics three times in her career. The best result for the biathlete from the Finanzwache sports group was 18th place in the individual race in Vancouver. The woman from Ridnaun also took part in eight world championships.

At the 2007 home World Championships in Antholz, Haller finished 12th, the best result of her career. Two years ago in Khanty Mansiysk, she missed out on the bronze medal in the relay title fights and came fourth. After a mixed 2011/12 season, in which she was also plagued by health problems, Katja Haller officially announced her retirement from active sport on May 23, 2012.
