After the current season, Dorothea Wierer will no longer have Andreas Zingerle by her side.
Zingerle led Italy for a period of 12 years, in which the highest levels ever expressed in biathlon were reached. Under his eyes there are the two crystal balls, three Olympic bronzes and the specialty cups with Dorothea Wierer, while with Dominik Windisch three other Olympic bronzes and three world medals arrived, among which the gold of the mass start stands out. of Oestersund 2019. And again Vittozzi capable of winning four world medals and a specialty cup and Lukas Hofer who obtained an individual world bronze in 2011, as well as various Olympic and world medals in relay. “We must be satisfied with what we have achieved. These in Beijing were the last Olympics for me. In March we will have another three weeks, then I will certainly have finished ”, said the South Tyrolean coach to RAI Suedtirol.
Among the statistics obtained during the Zingerle management, there are the large number of individual victories and podium finishes by his boys, from which he received great appreciation. As an athlete, Zingerle showed off for the Olympic medal in relay race at the 1988 Calgary Olympics, adding five world medals to his personal palmares. Zingerle thus leaves a generation of champions aware that behind Dorothea Wierer, spearhead of the Italian biathlon, a group of girls such as Samuela Comola and her daughter Linda Zingerle are being worked on, among others, with the aim of reaching the top at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Games.
