Biathlon colleague to Wierer: “I’m sorry, Doro”

Dorothea Wierer was criticized by some biathlon colleagues for the fact that she likes to use the helicopter from time to time during the season and at the same time takes part in the IBU (World Biathlon Federation) climate challenge. “Maybe she needs to make up for something now so that she has a better conscience on the next flight,” Norwegian Johannes Dale was quoted as saying in the Norwegian media. Wierer did not let such accusations slide and hit back with clear words in an interview with s+ (click here for the report). “Perhaps a few athletes need attention because they are otherwise not the center of attention, so they just have to attack others,” said the woman from Niederrasner. Dale apologizes to Wierer Doro himself thinks that the topic is being discussed too hotly. And now there has been an official apology from Johannes Dale. “I never wanted to criticize Wierer because she didn’t do anything wrong. The article was simply wrong and I was also angry at the journalist who twisted the words in my mouth. “So once again: I’m sorry, Doro,” said the Norwegian in the video interview Fondoitalia . This topic is already being joked about in biathlon circles. Tarjei Bø posted a photo on social media showing several biathletes mountaineering - including Sebastian Samuelsson, who had also criticized Wierer. Bø wrote: “Swedish activist Sebastian Samuelsson joined us as we conquered the top at 2700 meters. Dorothea Wierer also took part, but got tired when she discovered the heli-landing pad and left.” Both Wierer and Samuelsson reacted to this post with amusement. At this point at the latest it becomes clear: the topic is over.
