Will Dorothea Wierer continue until the 2026 Olympic Games in Antholz or not? This question has been bothering the biathlon world for a long time. Italy's winter sports association (FISI) announced on Monday that Wierer had invited numerous sports journalists to an online PK this Wednesday afternoon. In doing so, Wierer clarified her open question about the future.

SportNews will of course be there and inform its readers about Wierer's decision as quickly as possible. The fact is: just another year in the World Cup seems out of the question. If Wierer continues, then probably until the home Olympics in 2026. Italy's most successful biathlete of all time has made this clear several times in the past.

Last season, Wierer had to struggle with health problems several times (she was often ill) and was therefore unable to match her results from previous years. After the World Championships in Nove Mesto, she ended the season early - also to think about her future. The two-time overall World Cup winner has now apparently made a decision.
