The party queen in a frenzy of joy

Dorothea Wierer is an excellent biathlete – and also a party lady. Someone who rocks out on the dance floor for a little longer. One who, to put it in South Tyrolean terms, “let the pig out” every now and then. On New Year's Eve, Wierer said in a recent interview, she celebrated a little too hard and was confined to bed for several days due to illness. But even this celebration will be nowhere near the standards of the parties that Dorothea Wierer now throws almost every week in the international biathlon arenas.
