The moment you go to take stock of the situation relating to retreats of the women’s biathlonit is interesting to note how substantially all active athletes have decided to continue your career. In particular Dorothea Wierer, which has cleared away the fog relating to its future. The South Tyrolean sailing will reach the Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina 2026.
Indeed, there are even those who have decided to remove the rifle from the nail, dust it off and put it back into operation. We are talking about the Slovakian naturalized Siberian Anastasiya Kuzmina, 40 years to be completed in August, but fresh from a winter in which he competed part-time after entire seasons of pause. His commitment should also continue in the upcoming season 2024-25.

For a long time a classic complementary athlete, she has been able to gradually grow in level thanks to perseverance and hard work.

She scraped together an impromptu podium in the top circuit, but found herself mostly attending the cadet level.
Having noted his lack of competitiveness, Nilsson – after having declared that he was aiming for Milan-Cortina 2026 – wisely understood that there was no longer any need to get stuck in an area from which it was rejected. So she chose to change her habitat again, dedicating herself to the so-called granfondo. There, surely, he will have the opportunity to come back as a winneras it once was.
