Simon Schempp

Simon Schempp is a world famous German biathlete. At the age of 18, he had already reached the international level and almost immediately began to show good results. In the collection of awards, Simon considers the silver medals of the Olympic Games, as well as four gold medals of the World Championships, to be the most important for himself. Today, his name is listed in the twenty best biathletes of our time, despite the fact that the athlete has slowed down in recent seasons due to injuries.

Simon was born on November 14, 1988 in the German city of Mutlangen, Baden-Württemberg. Schempp's biography was already in early childhood closely associated with biathlon. The family moved to Wingen immediately after the birth of their son. Under the guidance of his father Reiner Schempp, the boy began to engage in biathlon, but since there was no full-fledged school for children in the city, the athlete went to train in Gosheim.

Simon is an ectomorph. A lean physique, lack of fat, light bones and an athletic torso give a huge advantage over tight athletes. The light weight allows you to climb mountains with less effort. Ectomorphs have less stress on the heart, and this adds endurance.

To Simon's physique, you can add height - 179 cm (with a weight of 72 kg). Long and light legs allow you to overcome heavy loads faster and with less effort. This makes Simon an ideal candidate for biathlon racing.

Simon Schempp's professional career began in 2006 when the athlete took silver in the pursuit. In Vancouver, March 11, 2009 at the World Cup, Simon took 24th place in the individual race. He won his first championship in a mixed relay while on the German superstar team. Then, on March 28, 2010, Magdalena Neuner helped to get the victory in Khanty-Mansiysk.

A brilliant performance took place at Simon Schempp in Antholz, at the KM competitions preceding the Sochi Olympics. Then the German athlete became the first in the sprint and pursuit. The top three winners each time included the Russian biathlete Yevgeny Garanichev. The participation in the relay brought the German team 2nd place, while the Norwegians were the first. For the first time in Shempp's sports career, he entered the top ten biathletes in the world.

Olympic Games - 2014 brought a silver award to the piggy bank. But Schempp was not upset and called this result perfect. In the same year, the Champions Race was held in Moscow. Gabriela Soukalova and Simon Schempp competed as a pair in the mixed relay. The first place was taken by the pair Daria Domracheva and Anton Shipulin. Simon and Gabriela were content with 3rd place, they were 24.6 seconds late.

At the 2015 World Championships in Kontiolahti Shempp fought for the championship with his main rival Anton Shipulin. Simon managed to win the gold medal in the 4x7.5 relay, but he again lost the pursuit to Shipulin.

The German biathlete spent two seasons brilliantly, winning a total of 10 gold medals at the World Cup stages. In 2016, the World Championship was held in Holmenkollen. This time Simon failed to take the gold, he had to be content with silver. But the number of points scored allowed the athlete to come close to the top three favorites: 2 times in a row, Schempp was in 4th place in the rating.

In 2017, the German won 2 gold medals at the World Cup in Hochfilzen: the first in the mass start, the second in the mixed relay.

The 2017/2018 season was less successful. The athlete approached the performance at the Olympics in Korea with only two silver medals won at the World Cup stages. Nevertheless, this did not prevent Schempp from visiting the Olympic podium twice. Moreover, the fight for a prize in the mass start, in which Simon Schempp and Frenchman Martin Fourcade participated, was recognized as the most spectacular moment of the Olympics.

In 2009, the biathlete had a whirlwind romance with the contender for the title of the sex symbol of the German biathlon Miriam Gessner. The girl did not hide her relationship with the handsome man, and at the World Cup stage, Schempp and Gessner settled not in a common hotel with their team, but in a separate apartment.

Simon Schempp and his girlfriend were one of the brightest and most promising couples in the world biathlon, but Miriam was not destined to become the athlete's wife. Their breakup discouraged fans. The athletes themselves did not comment on the reason for the breakup in interviews, Gessner argued that they remained friends.

After some time, Simon began to communicate more with Franziska Preuss. They have known each other for a long time thanks to biathlon. Communication grew into a love story. It is interesting that with the new darling, Schempp chose a different tactic: they train together, but during the training camp they live in separate houses.

In February 2019, Schempp announced on his Instagram page that he was ending the season ahead of schedule due to health problems. The champion told his subscribers that he has been experiencing back pain for a long time, which interferes with training and performing in competitions.

Previously, the prize-winner underwent major shoulder surgery. Simon missed the World Cup and World Cup. The sportsman spent the free time on tourist trips. Shempp calls the Maldives his favorite vacation spot.

In May, the biathlete returned to training. Now in his Instagram account, photos taken during sports trips are increasingly appearing. Simon's subscribers hope to see him soon on the track.
