Italian biathlete Dorothea Wierer
–
Recently, although Wierer won the summer world cross-country championship in Val di Fiemme, she also admitted that she suffers from several health problems before the start of the biathlon season.
“I can’t sleep properly for three weeks. I have had the same problem several times in the past. I feel as if my body has reached a certain level of fitness, but then it said stop. I’m trying to fight it, but it’s hard, “Wierer revealed recently.
One of the most prominent figures in women’s biathlon in recent years took three weeks off before the start of the season. “I had the same problem last year, but I made the mistake of continuing my training. Then I often felt unusually tired, we are just people, not machines. Now I want to solve the problem first. We’ll see what happens next, “Wierer told the Italian newspaper Fondo Italia.

Last year, the holder of two bronze medals from the Olympic Games in Sochi and Pyongyang complained of psychological problems related to coronavirus.
“I’m not used to having just biathlon in my life. I usually do a lot of other things. I meet friends, I go out. Now it’s just about biathlon and it’s too much for me, “she complained then.
Last season was also more of a disappointment for her. After two crystal globes from previous seasons, she had to settle for fifth place. She also did not bring home any medals from the World Championships in Pokljuka.
Fans will soon find out what form Wierer will present at the start of the new year. The season starts with a sprint and endurance race in Östersund, Sweden on November 19.
