Denise Herrmann-Wick does not intend to relax in Norway, even if it is her final biathlon event. "You always want to get the best out of oneself from the start," Herrmann-Wick stated ahead of his last performance on Sunday (3:10 p.m. / ARD and Eurosport) at the renowned Holmenkollen in Oslo: "I want to be in the crowd again and prove that I can perform better."
In winter, the sprint world champion referred to her poor mass start results. The 34-year-old from Saxony never made it into the top 20 in three starts, not in the World Cup nor at the home World Championships in Oberhof. "After today, I'm going to appreciate everything. "You can't beat it today," Herrmann-Wick remarked after her spectacular sprint victory on Saturday.
She won the discipline World Cup ranking and the little crystal globe for the best sprinter of the season for the second time in her career with her eleventh World Cup triumph. It was especially memorable since several of my friends and their families were in Oslo. They all witnessed how the former cross-country skier earned an audience with Norway's King Harald on her final day of competition. Only the winners are permitted in the main grandstand box. Herrmann-Wick took the rare opportunity for a selfie.
"What she's done is insane," German assistant coach Sverre Olsbu Röiseland stated. Only the best athletes could withstand such circumstances. Olympic champion Herrmann-Wick also completed her final sporting objective before retiring. "It's amazing," said German Ski Association sports director Felix Bitterling: "If you clapped first place, there's not much more to say about it except: congrats!" Of course, we're thrilled with the ball."
