Today, February 9, the next World Biathlon Championship starts in Hochfilzen. And on the same day, one of the greatest biathletes in the history of German Magdalene Neunner marks 30 years. The first victories at the World Cup stages and world championships she won in 2007, and five years later completed the brilliant career. Now she lives in his native Valleau, together with her husband raises two children and from time to time calls to clear the world biathlon from doping.
How to break into the world of biathlon
He made his debut in the World Cup a month before his 19th anniversary, and she needed only a year to take off to the top of the top. On January 5, 2007, she won in the sprint race in Oberhof, and just a month later she became a three-time world champion in Antholz, taking gold in the sprint, persecution and relay.
On February 4, 2007, it became clear that Neuner came seriously and for a long time. In the sprint to the top, she did not have enough very little, but in the race of the persecution, young Magdalen tried to catch up with all the then stars of the world biathlon, but no one did.
How to save the team and become a champion
March 13, 2011 at the World Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk held one of the most prominent races in his career. In the relay she fled the final stage And left behind the leaders in more than one minute. But on this day, the Noner was just not to stop. On the last cut of the distance she left behind 25 seconds from the Ukrainian Oksana ZhaevpenkoAnd eventually brought her about the same amount, rushing at the distance as a rocket.
A year later, at the last in the career, the Neuner World Championships in Rupolding replied to her the same - after an extremely unsuccessful stage Magdalene, other biathletes pulled the team to first place.
How the idols left. The most unexpected sports stars
Politics, church, the role of the functioner, the house in the village and the change of gaming role and other reasons forcing the legendary athletes to leave the sport.
How to become double and not get into the relay
But not always the Neuner had such rainbow relationships with colleagues from the national team. It is enough to remember the Olympics in Vancouver when Magdalena did not get into the composition of the fourth fourth. There is still no intelligible explanation for this circumstance, while in the personal races, then Neuner won two gold and silver rewards.
Someone claims that the rest of the athletes simply did not want to run along with the Noner, fearing that her doping test would give a positive result and the whole team will be deprived of a possible medal. Magdalene allegedly remembered 2008, when the journalists of the German channel ARD and the Austrian edition "Courier" began to unwind the story with blood doping, in which three dozen elite German athletes were involved, among whom she was. But then Hyo Zeppelt It was also preparing for future investigations, and the scandal touched only cyclists.
Someone says that coaching headquarters Preferred a phenomenally fast athlete reliable in the shooting of Martin Beck, so as not to lose a practically guaranteed award. The German team eventually won bronze.
How to shock the whole world
In December 2011, Sensational announced that at the end of the 2011/12 season, it would complete sports career. This statement caused the effect of a broken bomb. Get out of sports at the peak itself, in 25 years? Why?
"For me, other things always existed in life in addition to the sport. I always wanted to have a family. Be mom and come home. Sports goals for me ended. 100 wins in the World Cup have never been to Motivation. I wanted to become an Olympic champion, the world champion and all this achieved. It's time to start another life, "said Neuner.
Noer: There is nothing more important in life.
Magdalena Neuner B. exclusive interview "Championship.com" told that she misses the team, and not only biathlon would look in Sochi.
But there were other versions of her care. In an amazing way, this decision Magdalena coincided with the introduction of the steroid part of the biological passport in the biathlon. In some sports, it has already been done and worked: the famous skater Claudia Pekstein Discaled for two years exactly on the basis of the testimony of biopasport.
How to remove the national teams in full
Just a couple of days ago, Noiner in an interview with StuttGarter Zeitung spoke on the topic of doping in biathlon.
"The teams whose athletes are systematically falling across doping, you need to completely remove from participation in competitions. It is a hard, but correct measure, because otherwise nothing will change, and it will strike at 98% of athletes who compete honestly, "said Magdalena. In the same interview, she supported the Frenchman Marten Fourcada In his intention to boycott competition in the event of an IBU indecision in the fight against doping.
This is the most loud statement of the Noner in relation to doping from all she ever did. Magdalena never mentioned the Russian national team in this interview, but a month ago, she already said that IBU should have given the maximum attention to the data from the report McLaren. And these data were collected only in relation to all russian sport. In general, the Neuner itself has never been trimmed, but it would be completely great if Magdalena finished his call for removing with the words: "Any my samples can be checked at any time." But no one has heard this phrase.
Main star star female biathlona Magdalena Neuner leaves "retirement." She wrote about this in a special report posted on the official website of the athlete.
"I decided: after that season, I will finish my biathlon career!", Immediately embarrassed my fans of the "Golden Girl" of the German Biathlon.
Magdalena wrote that she was going to inform about his caring two more weeks ago, but "for organizational reasons", this could not be done. "I had to choose a later date. It was unpleasant, because from the very beginning I wanted to be honest and frankly about everything," the Golden Girl was admitted, "the Golden Girl" of the German Biathlon. According to her, the decision was not easy for her, but "it's time for change and I want to try something new for myself after sport. And it will be great!"
Magdalena talked about the reasons that met her to accept such a decision. "I am still in normal life. In sports, only once in life you can do what I have already done. And I am very motivated to try something new, buy skills in other areas," she writes. And he offers his fans to send ideas - where Magdalena could realize himself after sport. "I will be very grateful to you and I'm open to suggestions," says an athlete.
In addition, the Neuner admits that the topic of family planning is played a major role in decision making. "Women will understand me," she says. But notes that first intends to get a coaching license.
"In any case, I will stay - I will be simple in another place. And, I would be glad if you would be with me in my new life," Magdalena noted, turning to his fans.
What to say is Magdalena Neuner's decision made shocking. Athlete, despite all its achievements, just 24 years old. And most career ahead. Usually, at this age, the biathlon is "tying" or completely unprotected athletes (about whom, but about Magdalene, this will not say exactly) or because of serious injuries. Judging by the performances of Magdalena at the first stage of this seasonShe is all right with it.
So what happened? In the official version outlined by the athlete, many do not believe. Well, it can not like the champion to leave on the take-off career! Yes, she has a lot of victories. But behind the shoulders is only one Olympiad. In most cases, great champions are kept until the latter - just look at Ole Einar Bjerndalen. But, on the other hand, you can understand Magdalene. Despite all the successes in sports, it entails the other life. On the biathlon track, she has already won everything that could only increase the number of awards. All heights are conquered - why not try to conquer new - while there are strength and desire?
In addition to the official version there are unofficial. The very first one that is born when leaving the sport of young, full athlete forces is a pregnancy. However, the hints that the Neuner is waiting for the child, has not yet. But you should not discard this option.
It is also believed that Magdalena will not leave anywhere. However, until now, she did not give rise to doubt their words. However, it is possible that after some time after care she can return to the track. Triumphantly.
But these are all assumptions. For now - we have a whole season ahead in order to enjoy the performances of Magdalena. We do not want many victories - we have Dasha Domrachev. But without a doubt, biathlon lovers in the coming months will still see the inimitable Neuner on the pedestal. Or maybe he will change his mind?

Without Lena biathlon will not be that. Now there is no equal. Very sorry!
Interestingly, if at the World Cup in Rupolding M. Neuner will not win a single gold medal, she will remain or will it still leave? Maybe there are those 2%?
Wow, Grisha returned, right for some reason, under a different name, and even the floor changed))
Not being a fan of the Neuner, I give proper to her everyday wisdom. Go until you are the first, not everyone. Wilhelm, Beck, Bayei, Zidek went down by the pilots. And Lena, like Simon at one time, said goodbye to sports beautifully. Ariwiderchi.
Let's not be about doping and even without reason. For any athletes.
And why is it barely crawling Sleptsova in the last pursuit race rushed like a mad? Here and look for doping with vitamins. Pihler Pichler, no one has canceled the "initiative below".
Julia.
It is easier to believe not in the ability and in the miraculousness of medicine. Moreover, rivals.
I will not argue, because It is meaningless. To each his own.
SWETLANA.
The fact of the matter is that the speed was from the very beginning and then Lena scored athleticism (these are women tightening on our horizontal bar in this offseason)
And everyone has different features, for example, I know a person who dives in a length of 30-40 meters not tightening and he has all one light (one removed) and he does it without medicine, thanks to the features of the body and hard workouts (after the operation he began to train smoking) and for example, I can never dive so much although I went into the water jumping and ran cross several years, football played.
For me, its completion of the career is not such an unexpected news. For three years she has already said that the career will not delay that there are problems with motivation (after the Olympiad). Only I thought that I would still reach Sochi. And all its reasons in which you doubt are personally obvious to me.
Do not notice the obvious - doping :))
I see no reason to explain anything. Talk about doping will be accurate. After all, doping is the cause of everything:
well made doping;
poked badly - doping took;
fell ill - doping;
drool after the race - doping;
complete your career - Doping.
Co., well, probably, I would still eliminate this reason, and did not put it late. Something at all can not believe in the help of Magdalene achievements of pharmacology. Although still her speed is good! But I think it is her personal achievement and the achievement of its coaches.
SWETLANA.
I completely exclude this reason. Because Sprinkles were not observed from the very beginning And any pharmacology is pointing and otherwise. Over the entire career, Lena depends on accuracy and not from speed and endurance. There are no less serious arguments to this. She overtook her more older for example, for example, at the age of 17 brought 20-21 years old kilometers. What did it be planted for medicines? In 5 seasons of 116 races 61 times, she was the first speed and another 37 times in the three fastest, i.e. In total, 18 races were slow.
Julia: "Is there a" pharmacological "population in this situation?"
And for some reason I really doubt it and put this reason for the last place.
maybe it was possible to understand that the "limit is exhausted" ... and "lose face" there is no desire ... Stories about the "coaching license" and "personal life" sounds somehow weak. The acting profession Magdalene is still mastered and mastering.
Julia, I do not exclude such an opportunity. I even put this reason for first place!
Is there a "pharmacological" population in this situation?
Marina Sergeevna
The loss of Svendsen will not be so noticeable for its national team for any biathlon.
Noer in two recent tournaments He won half of the gold medals (4 out of 8 and for 5 years of more than 2 personal, none of the women won) and more than half of all personal victories of Sat. Germany in km also on her account (10 out of 18, and given that the rest of Henkel and Hauswald (4) then the national team prospects are very disturbing)
Svendsen has a cover Yeshere and on the world stage does not stand out too (the medals of gold personal in Vancouver and Khanta, a two-great result, but not an outstanding not he is so at the moment yes he will not leave for another 5 years. Do not worry)
Dmitry apparently you are happy that with such a situation it will not be noticeable to the decline in the Russian team? Here he will be Hochma if some strongest of other national teams go, and russian team Anyway, it will not be possible to get to the podium in Sochi. Victory is value in fair struggle and with the participation of the strongest of all teams. And this is all close to the governor's shutters on one of the races when shooting a rival Russian team: "At least you missed ..." And in relation to this situation: "At least you did not participate ..."
A holy place is never empty. Others will come, replacing the comfort of this incomparable work ...
I will feel sorry if Svendsen leaves
Yes, experienced, I agree. Widden by the success of the Neuner Spadel in German Biathlon will appear in all its glory.
In general, if seriously, she is well done. So, in advance, calmly, with the explanation of the reasons.
Not that our fuck, Bach, like a drunken man from the stove fell, or with this, I'm leaving!
Shl. Comparison about a drunken man is not mine. Quote. But it is suitable for determining how it is impossible.
No tragedy, there is no. Germans generally leave us not clear how. Remember Catherine Apel. She would still run and run. And Denkinger, and Wilhelm. There is very far from "natural care." After the care of Magdalene, the German will not be anyone at the world level.

From the balcony is not jumping.
I will be a viewer after leaning.
My condolences to fans of Lena ... in Russia! There are not enough such - even on the Republic of Belarus ...! Coast - how to live next? ... :-))
Cold, enjoy the last days and races ... This is her choice.
It has the right and opportunity (!) So think and do ...
But our girls: come differently ... :-))
Get married - run - they give birth in the pauses of the OI, - again in Peleton, etc. cyclically ... however!
And this is right: from success - you can not run ... then you can not catch up and back: you will not return ...
Well done, that: thought - suffered - she gained strength and told in advance ...
We, among the CRP and many other federations ... Alas do this rarely ...
Won: Prokherov - scored "bolt" on e-ETU federation and "free Aki ... in flight"
Kushchenko - ran out of basketball into the biathlon and ... you will not be expelled with a broom ... and then right: Well, and where to go ... he will burn everything around - but steer ...
It is a pity, of course, that Magdalena leaves ... I will remember her smile and victory!
Yes, I know. I answered the question: "When will the samples be opened?". And during these 8 years, they may be intact if new methods do not come up with.
DENSCORP,
yes, I do not mind: even repeated, even tertiary ...
It was simply that the experts of WADA in 2010 could not be well known in 2018 (this is absolutely not relatively Magdalena, but concerns all athletes).
Well, it will already be re-autopsy.
Paul biathlon leaves
Without Magdalen, biathlon will not cease to be my favorite sport. In general, of course, anyone has the right to choose a lifestyle and place of work. So good luck Magdalene in postportal life!
DENSCORP.
Only for reference (without hints and suspicion):
"During the XXI Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, 2100 doping samples were taken, which will be stored for 8 years.
Even despite the fact that, as the head of the international olympic Committee Jacques Rogge, to say unequivocally about the "purity" of the participants of the Canadian Olympiad can only be possible after these eight years ... "
