Many opponents of Martin present and past, colleagues and technicians of biathlon but also sportsmen of other disciplines and even Hollywood stars wanted to pay homage on social networks for the great career of "Monsieur le Biathlon".
One of the first to pay homage to the great transalpine champion was Johannes Thingnes Boe on the eve of today's race. Just the main rival of Martin in this last part of his career, he posted a photo that portrays them together on the podium of Tyumen and commented: "Last dance ... We don't know who will win the World Cup tomorrow, but one thing it is certain it will be our last battle! Good life and thank you Martin Fourcade chapeau! "
