After the Russian Natalia Mekryukova-Shevchenko, after Annamarija Lampic, a real star, it is the German Antonia Fraebel who said goodbye to cross-country skiing to become, if possible, a top-level biathlete.
Twice world medalist in juniors, Fraebel then achieved good results in the world cup before ending her career as a cross-country skier with a 19th place in the 30km of the Olympic Games.
She had announced a few weeks ago her departure for biathlon, out of desire but also out of love since she has just linked her destiny with Philipp Horn, member of the German national team.
The couple got married on Saturday, in the Oberhof region, in front of around a hundred guests. Among them Erik Lesser, Benedikt Doll, Katharina Hennig, Lucas Fraztscher or even Erik Zobel.
Antonia Fraebel, who will now be called Antonia Horn, hopes to follow in the footsteps of Evi Sachenbacher, Kati Wilhelm and Denise Herrmann, three illustrious cross-country skiers who have become just as strong in biathlon.
