These Wierer statements make fan hearts ache

The biathletes have been in Beijing for three weeks now. Now Dorothea Wierer & Co. are starting their journey home. The mass starts on Friday were the last competitions for the ski hunters. For the grass superstar This race went wrong , but the 31-year-old still draws a very positive conclusion. “I’m happy that I got a medal,” she says in an interview Rai Sport . “Even though these were very strenuous games. The snow was slow, the temperatures were low, it was windy. In short: it was hard,” said the probably most prominent biathlete in the world. In the past few days, one topic has been coming up again and again. Namely whether Wierer will still be there at the 2026 Winter Games. As is well known, these take place in Italy, the biathlon competitions are held in Antholz and therefore on the speedster's doorstep. “I advise Wierer to think carefully about whether she wants to quit,” said biathlon legend Martin Fourcade . “I am jealous of everyone who will be able to take part in the Games at home in 2026.” Dorothea Wierer Now Wierer, who has repeatedly flirted with the end of her career, has spoken out herself. On Eurosport When she was asked about the 2026 Olympics, biathlon fans - especially those in South Tyrol - probably didn't really like the answer. “I am jealous of everyone who will be able to take part in the Games at home in 2026. They are simply beautiful places,” says Wierer, who adds: “Every athlete wants to take part in the Olympics at home. But I don't think I'll make it there. You also have to be a little realistic in life.” A good meal in Milan So Wierer doesn't give her fans high hopes that she'll still be there in four years. But the speedster prefers to concentrate on what is happening in the here and now. Will she celebrate the bronze medal? With a hearty laugh, she replies: “I’m going to fly home now, stay in Milan and go out for something good to eat there on Sunday evening.” Of course, the season isn't over yet, Wierer still has big goals. “I want to maintain my good position in the overall ranking and win the small crystal ball in the mass start,” said the Puster native, who is currently leading the rankings in that discipline. There are still three World Cup stages left.
