Magdalena Neuner is a famous German athlete, biathlete, who reached unprecedented heights at a young age and announced the end of her sports career at the age of 25, in 2011.

Magdalena was born in a village near the Bavarian town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the village of Valgau, on February 9, 1987. In addition to Lena, paul and Margit Neuner were brought up in the family and other children: the athlete's older brother Paul, as well as the younger ones - Christophe and sister Anna.

The younger sister followed in the footsteps of the eldest and also as a child engaged in biathlon, which, however, is not surprising, because Garmisch-Partenkirchen - the famous ski resort, so that the love of winter sports locals soak up with mother's milk. From the age of four, little Magdalena was a member of the SC Wallgau ski club, and at nine her parents sent the girl to the biathlon section. Magdalena's coach was bernhard Krell, an experienced master of his craft.

The future champion started to participate professionally only after graduation, at the age of sixteen.

From the very beginning, the biathlete's career was going well. The girl showed brilliant results, having won seven medals in the German junior biathlon championships. Lena won her first medal at the youth championship in 2004, and in 2005 at a similar championship the athlete received a gold medal for winning the sprint and silver for the pursuit and relay race.

Magdalena managed to repeat this achievement at the junior championships two more times: in 2006 and 2007. 2006 was a decisive year for the athlete, as in the 2005/2006 season she was entrusted to participate in the competition for the European Cup. The girl took the fifth place in the overall ranking, won three races, which became a kind of pass to the world of big sport. By that time, the athlete was already 165 cm tall and weighing 56 kg.

In January 2006, Bavarka made her debut at the World Cup.

2007 was a stellar year for Neuner in the full sense of the word. In January, the talented athlete won the World Cup sprint, and won three gold medals at the World Championships. At the age of 20 Magdalena became the youngest three-time world champion, at the same time at home she was chosen the best athlete of the year.

Since the end of 2007, Magdalena Neuner has experienced periodic health problems. After the race, the girl began to cough, which reporters wrote off for asthma attacks. But the athlete and her coach did not make statements about the serious illness. Most likely, Magdalena just got a cold every time.

In the same year she was waiting for three more awards: winning the World Cup in the overall standings and two Small Crystal Globes. The 2008-2009 season was not the most successful for Magdalena. In total, she finished fourth, but won the Small World Cup in the individual race.

In the sprint race, the girl had every chance of success, but an unfortunate mistake prevented her from receiving this award. As a result, the German biathlete was overtaken by an athlete from Slovakia, and Neuner got a silver medal.

The young champion won two other medals, winning the pursuit race and the race from the overall start, showing brilliant results. Gold medals made the girl a two-time Olympic champion in biathlon, for which she was awarded a special honor: at the closing of the Olympic Games Magdalene entrusted to carry the banner of the national team of Germany.
