The press conference of the four-time world champion and holder of three bronze metals from the Olympic Games is on the program at 3 p.m. The Italian media report this unanimously with reference to the national winter sports association FISI.
Wierer has left the continuation of her career open in recent weeks and months. “I am 33 years old. Some biathletes have finished at 30, some at 35. I haven’t decided what will happen next,” she said in an entertaining program on Italian Rai TV in March.
The native of Bruneck has had a horror season. Before the start of the year and during it, she was troubled by health problems, she complained of fatigue. In the overall standings of the World Cup, she ended up occupying the 40th place.
The medal from the World Championships in Novi Mesto was also very high for her, the best position for her was the tenth place in the sprint. She did not compete again after the championship.
If Wierer does decide to continue, the prospect of participating in the 2026 home Olympics, which will be held in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, will no doubt play a role. “The Olympic Games at home would of course be nice, but there are still two years left,” said the Italian in winter.
