Withdrawals at the end of the pre-Olympic season are quite rare, but from time to time captain. This is the case of Éva Tófalvi, which in 38 years has decided to hang up skiing and rifle to the nail, as reported by dell''Ibu site.

"I feel that it is time to stop and create me a family, even if they are not 100% convinced of this fact. I know that the Olympic Games are just around the 'corner, but do not think I have the energy you need for the best such an event. I love the competition and especially skiing, so these things I will miss. Certainly I not regret stress and long journeys. I could not wait 'time to go home and spend time with my partner. For this I realized that the point of changing my life "has arrived. Thus stops the largest Romanian biathlete of all time, able even to get a win in the World Cup. He ran December 18, 2008 and Eve ended the 'individual in Hochfilzen in second place, only to be "promoted" a month later on the top step of the podium by virtue of the disqualification of the winner Albina Akhatova for all''Epo positivity. Altogether it got 13 placings in the top-10 and occupied the '11 th place in the overall standings of the maximum circuit 2008 - '' 09. He also concluded 35 individual events without error, a significant number (only 7 women have done better) especially considering how she is left-handed, but have had to learn to shoot from right-handed "because in Romania in the '80s we had no luxuries such as rifles adapted to left-handed. " Among the main satisfactions of his career, Tofalvi still wanted to remember the fact that it was 3 times bearer of Romania at the Olympic Winter Games (Salt Lake City 2002, Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014).

Now his future is nell''impreditoria: "For Harghita-Bai have a small hotel that is going well. Now also I will open a sporting goods store. I do not think I'll stay nell''ambiente biathlon, when it seems too stressful " LIST OF RETIRED IN BIATHLON, 2017HORN-BIRKELAND Fanny [NOR] (1988) TOFALVI Eva [ROU] (1978) BÖHM Daniel [GER] (1986)
