Boy from 1989, on November 29 he will turn 33, Dominik Windisch attends the Biathlon World Cup circuit, where at the moment the counter has marked 303 races, since 2011.
Looking at his career, there are two moments that emerge vividly due to the emotions they have made to feel.
The "Cinqueeee", handed down to posterity by Eurosport commentator Dario Puppo, is in the epic of biathlon and blue sport, in the storm of the last polygon of the Mass Start of the Ostersund World Championships, it was 17 March 2019, with which the boy from Rasun, who entered eleventh position, flies to the Gold World Championship a few hours after the title conquered in the same competition format by Dorothea Wierer.
And how can we forget the last lap of the Mixed Relay of the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics where he targets the German Arnd Peiffer to kill him on the final straight, aiming for the Bronze medal with Lisa Vittozzi, Dorothea Wierer and Lukas Hofer.
Numerically it is the Mixed Relay to give Dominik Windisch the greatest satisfaction: the Bronze medal in Sochi 2014 (Wierer, Oberhofer and Hofer the other protagonists), the Silver at the World Championships in Anterselva in 2020 and the Bronze in Ostersund 2019 in the same dream formation as PyeongChang.
The same team conquers two victories in the World Cup, three second places and three third places but in Dominik's palmares there is also the victory in the men's relay on 5 January 2012 in Oberhof with Christian De Lorenzi, his brother Markus and the omnipresent Lukas Hofer as well as a second place and two third places.
On an individual level, the Bronze medal in the Sprint of the PyeongChang Olympics and the victory in the World Cup in the Canmore Mass Start in February 2016 also shine.
Right in the starting line, Dominik Windisch, the man of great occasions, after an anonymous season went close to the last paw at the recent Beijing Olympics with a fifth place just 25 seconds from the podium.

La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
