Tears for Herrmann-Wick's farewell? “Could definitely happen”

Olympic champion Denise Herrmann-Wick is preparing for an emotional end to her successful biathlon career. “That could definitely happen,” answered the 34-year-old in an ARD interview when asked whether she might shed a few tears after her last race on Sunday in Oslo. “I have no idea what’s coming, I’ll be surprised,” added the sprint world champion. There are still three races on the program for the Saxon before she ends her career at Holmenkollen after the final mass start. “It's a crazy feeling. “You can only ever imagine it as it is,” said Herrmann-Wick about the last moments of her career: “I don’t even want to imagine Sunday like that, because until then there’s still a bit of something to do.” The decision to resign has matured over the years The former cross-country skier still has the chance on Friday (15.20:7,5 p.m.) to secure the small crystal ball for the World Cup sprint ranking. Before the last race of the season over XNUMX kilometers, Herrmann-Wick leads this ranking just ahead of the Italian Dorothea Wierer. After decades of sporting competition, the two-time world champion is already looking forward to new experiences. “For me it is now also a goal to be spontaneous at times and to be flexible at times. That's not my greatest strength. But after so many years of being structured and planned, this is now on the agenda,” she said. The decision to resign right now was not made spontaneously. “It has been developing over the last two or three years. “This is the perfect moment for me, especially with the big goal of the Olympics last year and the home World Championships in Oberhof,” she added.
