“We will see Tiril again in the future”

“She wants to move on. We will definitely see Tiril again in the future,” said their South Tyrolean coach Patrick Oberegger on the sidelines of the World Cup in Antholz German press agency. However, the 32-year-old will no longer compete this season and will continue to focus on her return. “She knows that this is the right way to simply reset everything after the last few years and carry on with new energy, perhaps until the 2026 Olympics in Antholz,” added Oberegger (44). After a corona infection last March, the ten-time world champion suffered for a long time from consequences such as massive sleep disorders and also revealed mental problems. She has been taking a break since then and will miss the entire season as well as the World Cup in Oberhof from February 8th to 19th. Eckhoff is doing well again According to Oberegger, Eckhoff is now doing very well again. “She enjoys life. “She spends a lot of time with friends and family and enjoys being the normal Tiril and not the athlete,” explained Oberegger. Eckhoff trains, “but more from his gut, has no plan. A little according to your mood.” He speaks to her once or twice a week. “The worst thing for them is sitting in front of the TV and watching biathlon. That’s what eats her up the most,” Oberegger said of his protégé. Eckhoff is happy about the team's success, "but it hurts a little bit, that's the other side of the coin," he said.
