Dorothea Wierer

Italian biathlete Dorothea Virer means a lot to the national team. Thanks to the shooting of this athlete, Italy won bronze at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and took silver and bronze medals at the World Biathlon Championships. In addition, Virer won the 2016 Small World Cup in individual races.

Dorothea Virer's biography originates in the town of Brunico, located in the Alpine region of Tyrol, in northern Italy. This area is inhabited by people from Germany and Austria, hence the mediterranean surname of the athlete. By the way, the name "Dorothea" speaks about the German roots of the girl, so Virer by nationality can be considered both German and Italian. Since childhood, Doro is used to speaking both Italian and German and still remains bilingual. In addition, Virer is fluent in English and even speaks a little Russian.

Parents paid great attention to the sports development of children. Even little Dorothea loved to play football with the boys, and not "graze the back" and was considered one of the strongest players in the team. And in biathlon Dorothea Virer got thanks to the persuasion of his older brother - the guy has been learning to ski and shoot for several years and decided to introduce his sister to this exotic sport for Italy. Virer first got up on skis at the age of 10, then participated in the first competitions, but could not hit any targets.

Who would have thought that in a few years Virer would be the most promising biathlete of Italy and the fastest-shooting athlete participating in the World Cups. At junior level, Dorothea collected a constellation of medals, and in 2011 became the world junior champion and received the Rookie of the Year award. After that, Dorothea was waiting for a great sport. It should be added that the girl did not forget about education and graduated from the university with a degree in Tax and Customs.

At the adult level, the biathlete did not show a serious result at first. As Dorothea Virer admits in an interview with sports magazine, it was a banal laziness. In addition, after the successes in the youth competitions, the girl gained extra pounds. But when the athlete decided to train harder, it immediately bore fruit. The biathlete won her first gold medals at the 2013 World War Games in Ansi and at the World Summer Biathlon Championships in Forni Avoltri.

At the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Italy, led by Virer, took third place in the mixed relay. Climbing to the Olympic podium gave Dorothea motivation, and the girl felt like a serious biathlete.

And the next season 2014-2015 was a triumph for Dorothea. At four stages of the World Cup, Virer was called the best in different types of races, not to mention silver and bronze medals. The first victory of the following season was "bronze" in the pursuit race at the World Cup in the Swedish city of Ostersund. Participation in the World Biathlon Championships, which took place in Kontiolahti, ended with a team podium in the relay category. Together with other athletes from Italy - Lisa Vittozzi, Karina Oberhofer and Nicole Gontier - Dorothea Virer took third place, losing to the first two teams of Germany and France.

Despite the obvious successes of recent years, Virer openly admitted that she does not intend to prolong her sports career. The girl even considered the possibility to move to coaching.

Nevertheless, 2016 brought another award to the athlete's piggy bank - at the World Championships held in Holmenkollen, Dorothea won silver in the pursuit race and became the seventh in the overall standings (excluding relay races). The athlete also distinguished herself in the competitions held in Khanty-Mansiysk and Ostersund, where she took third place in the category of personal races. Participation in the team race of the tournament in Canmore brought the Italian second place.

After winning 944 points in the 2015-2016 season, Dorothea Winer moved up to third place overall. This result was the best in the entire sports career of the Italian biathlete.

To participate in the competition, the athlete uses a rifle of the German brand Ansch'tz. Dorothea prefers The French firm Rossignol to ski and boots. The performance of the athlete is supported by the Italian ski resort Livigno. Other sponsors of the Italian were also The Audi Car Concern, the sportswear brand Kappa and lingerie brand Intimissimi.

The 2016-2017 season was on the rise. At the World Biathlon Championships, which took place in Hochfilzen, she never climbed the podium, but at the tournament held in Nova Mesto-on-Morava, Dorothea became the second and third in the pursuit and mass start respectively. Virer won the bronze in the team competition at the relay as part of the competition held in the Italian Antholz.

On the penultimate day of May 2015, the biathlete changed her family status and married the technical manager of the Italian Winter Sports Federation Stefano Corradini. The young men met back in 2008, and dorothea Virer's husband entered her personal life four years after that, although at that time only as a boyfriend. Stefano is 12 years older than Dorothea, but this does not prevent the newlyweds from feeling one whole: both like to dance in nightclubs, eat tasty and a little lazy. After the wedding, the couple settled in the town of Castello di Fiemme.

Curiously, if in Russia fans know biathletes by name and face, in Italy the situation is exactly the opposite. Since the number one sport for Italians is football, Dorothea does not feel like a star at home, even after great performances at the Olympics and World Cup. The girl hopes that the situation will change over time and the public will recognize Virer on the streets.

To popularize her own name and winter sports, Dorothea agreed to participate in a candid photo shoot. This offer was made by Dorothea Virer "Playboy" after the beauty, whose height is 160 cm, and the weight fluctuates within 63 kg, was tacitly awarded the title of "Sexiest Biathlete of our time".

The beauty of the athlete is recognized not only by the fans, but also by fellow athletes. For example, Anton Shipulin spoke to Vinner as the most beautiful champion in biathlon. Russian commentator Dmitry Guberniev does not hold back emotions at the sight of Dorothea, calling the girl a "luxury Italian". A specialist who monitors the health of the athlete and makes her before the races massage, fans and do call the owner of the best profession in the world.

The biathlete has a personal Instagram account, where Dorothea posts professional photos, as well as pictures taken while on vacation with friends and family. Virer still does not deny himself the pleasure of friendly communication, periodically going to nature in the company of loved ones. In addition to the usual photos, dorothea's page includes pictures of comic photo shoots. So in 2017, the athlete starred together with colleagues in biathlon in the form of a nurse. Dorothea indulges his fans with regular autograph sessions, which are not lazy to hold after each competition.

In December 2017, talk about Dorothea's pregnancy, the girl did not feel well at the competition in the Norwegian Shushen. But as Virer explained, she was poisoned by poor-quality food.

The last performances at the World Cup stages of the 2017-2018 season brought Dorothea silver in the relay race (Estersund) and bronze in the sprint race (Hochfilzen). In the overall standings of the Cup of Nations, Virer took the first place. Virer is preparing to participate in the 2018 Olympics.

Dorothea Virer plans to continue her sporting career after the Olympic Games in Korea. The biathlete will perform until 2020. The final tournament, according to Virer, for her should be a home world championship in Anterselva, where the professional debut of the athlete took place.

While the athlete does not finish her career, and continues to conquer the sports Olympus. During the 2017/2018 season, the biathlete has already won two bronze, four silver and two gold medals at the World Cup.

A month before the Olympics, she participated in the pursuit race in Antholz, where at the finish line her stick caught on Daria Domracheva's skis and broke. The Belarusian athlete did not take advantage of the situation, and nobly missed her opponent ahead, thus losing to Dorothea second place. Virer was impressed by the performance of the competitor and in the interview noted that she could not overtake Daria, if not for this case.

At the beginning of 2018, Dorothea Virer was among the top five biathletes in the world, which also included biathlon stars Kaisa Miakaryainen, Anastasia Kuzmina, Laura Dahlmeier and Daria Domracheva. Dorothea, like Kaisa, is believed to be strong in pursuit races.

At the Olympics in Korea, an Italian of German origin managed to win only a bronze medal in the mixed relay. In addition to Dorothea Virer, biathletes of the Italian national team Lisa Vittozzi, Lucas Hofer and Dominique Windisch took part in the race. Gold in this discipline went to France, and silver - Norway.

After Dorothea Virer retired from the sport, it is possible that her sister Magdalena Virer will take her place. The girl has already become the champion of the country in the overall standings of the Youth Cup of Italy. Magdalena is like two drops of water similar to the older sister, but at the same time taller.
