Arnd Peiffer

At the end of the 2018 Olympics, biathlete Arnd Peiffer brought another gold medal to Germany. Now the greatest achievements of the athlete are the victory at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and the 2011 World Championship in the sprint. In the relay races, the young man won three more gold medals at the world championships and silver at the 2014 Olympics.

Arnd Peiffer was born on March 18, 1987 in Wolfenbüttel, Germany, in the family of Annette and Karsten Peiffer (according to other information, the athlete's father is Harry Burrm Peiffer). Whether the parents of the future athlete are related to Greek culture is unknown, but the son was given the name Arnd, which is translated from Greek as "dazzling lightning". The boy grew up and lived up to the meaning of his unusual name.

Arnd began to attend sports training already at a conscious age. A 10-year-old boy attended a biathlon class for the first time and literally fell in love with this dynamic sport. Parents recall that Arnd always grew up as a thoughtful and serious child, and even adult athletes could sometimes envy his determination. At school, the boy was also among the excellent students, the best students. Parents had every reason to be proud of their son.

At the age of 15, Arnd took part in school competitions, and was already close to victory when he noticed a freezing puppy next to the track. The young man, without hesitation, sacrificed victory for the sake of saving the animal, which he cured and kept for himself, calling the dog Lucky.

After graduating from a boarding school with a sports bias in the resort town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, located in the heart of Germany, the young man decided that in addition to sports, he should master another profession.

The young man received his first higher education at the Technical University of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, where he entered in 2006. Barely entering the university, the young man went on academic leave to get the opportunity to devote time to sports.

Later, having received a degree in economics, Arnd changed his mind and decided to connect his life with the public order authorities, for which he entered the local Police Academy, having received the title of anverter upon graduation in 2011. And now the athlete considers his main profession to be the police service: as Arnd himself indicated in the questionnaire on his official website.

Arnd Peiffer got his first experience of international competition in December 2007, when he finished 15th at the European Cup in the individual race. At Langdorf-Arbersee, he achieved another sprint victory in January 2008.

The highlight of the season for him was the World Youth Championship in Ruhpolding, where he won two bronze medals in the sprint, losing to Anton Shipulin and Florian Graf. At the end of the season, the young athlete got a chance to compete in the European Cup in Cesana-San Sicario, where he entered the top ten, finishing ninth in the sprint and seventh in the pursuit.

In the 2008-2009 season, Peiffer became a member of the German national team and played in the European Open Cup (IBU Cup). Already on the first track in Idra, he finished fourth in the sprint race and was able to celebrate his first victory.

The same result at Martell, and fourth in the ensuing pursuit, gave him a temporary lead in the IBU Cup overall standings over Daniel Boehm.

In January 2009, Arnd made his debut as a member of the German national team in the 4 × 7.5 km relay at Oberhof at the World Cup. As the penultimate runner, he finished third, behind Michael Resch. Tony Lang, as a runner, could not keep up with the pace set by the Austrians and Russian athletes, and was headed by the German national team Michael Grice.

According to the results of the competition, Arnd took third place in the national team, but later they were raised to second, since the Russian national team was disqualified due to doping in the body of biathlete Dmitry Yaroshenko.

Two days after the first single in the sprint race, Peiffer finished eighth and thus fulfilled the World Championship qualification standard. In his first appearance at the World Championships in Pyeongchang, Peiffer competed with Andrea Henkel, Simone Hauswald and Michael Grice in the mixed relay at a distance of 2x6 km + 2x7.5 km. This performance brought the German athletes a bronze medal.

In the 4x7.5 km relay, Arnd finished behind Norwegian Ole Einar Bjoerndalen. In a team with Michael Resch, Christoph Stefan and Michael Grice in the men's relay, Peiffer again took third place.

And already in 2010, the athlete first went to the podium of the World Championship for a well-deserved gold medal. He was the leader in the mixed relay in the Russian Khanty-Mansiysk, demonstrating to the whole world his excellent physical characteristics and will to win.

In 2010, Arnd Peiffer competed in the Vancouver Olympics, where he finished 37th in the sprint and pursuit, 17th in the general start and 5th in the relay. In the following World Cup season 2010-2011, Peiffer became one of the most consistent German starters. He scored points in every race, finishing second in the sprint, and was in fifth place overall after the seventh World Cup.

Arnd confirmed his form at the beginning of the 2011 World Championship, which was held in the Russian Khanty-Mansiysk. In 2011, an athlete from Germany repeated last year's achievement, but already in the sprint, again taking gold at the World Championships. In the German national team in the mixed relay, which included the strongest biathletes of the current season Andrea Henkel, Magdalena Neuner, Arnd Peiffer and Michael Grice, he was 20 seconds ahead of Magdalena Neuner.

Two days later, Peiffer became the sprint world champion. With second best run and only one shooting error, he beat Frenchman Martin Fourcade to secure his first world title in an individual event. In the pursuit race, Arnd finished only fourth.

Arnd Peiffer has established himself as one of the strongest runners in the world class and won the title of the best athlete of the year in Germany. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Peiffer won a silver medal in the 4 × 7.5 km relay.

Despite being busy with sports and studies, Arnd found time for his personal life. The biathlete is married, although the identity of his wife is kept secret - he does not post family photos on Instagram and other social networks, does not pose for journalists.

In his free time, the athlete reads, listens to music, is a fan of Bayern Munich and even writes poetry.

On the eve of the 2018 Olympics, Peiffer worked hard under the strict guidance of personal trainer Mark Kirchner, and the training yielded excellent results. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Arnd Peiffer noted challenging weather conditions, but given that the German athlete loves cold and snow, this was an added advantage for him.

On February 11, 2018, Peiffer won an Olympic gold medal in the 10 km sprint, which came as a surprise even to the athlete himself, according to him. This victory brought Arnd the first Olympic biathlon title in his sports biography.
