The best biathlete in the world has nailed his career plan and announces that he will be in two more Olympic Games before giving up.
But then it was also over.
Going after the Olympics in Italy
– I’m going to 2026, then it’s over. I think the years are going to pass quickly, because my motivation is getting stronger, he tells TV 2, adding:
– I think the 2026 Italy Olympics will be fabulous. So that’s the point. But it is outdated before then. It will be a natural time to give up, then I will be 33 years old.
– So you don’t plan to do what Ole Einar Bjørndalen expects until you are over 40 years old?
– NOT! I think at 33, it’s time for life to be a little different from the best sports. And then I also had a long career.
Speaking of Bjørndalen, he won 95 world cups in biathlon (and one world cup race in cross country). Thingnes Bø now has 47 World Cup victories …
It won’t do like Johaug
Thingnes Bø has been excellent for the past few seasons, but experts have thought he could have improved even if he exercised more.
– Hm, people train a lot, probably only Therese Johaug has maximized her potential, she dedicates her whole life to her training. This is going to be a bit hypothetical, but how good could it have been if you had done the job correctly?
Training may not be the solution. I am very focused on exercising well when I am training. And my experience is that when I have trained more, I have gotten more tired and have had to take a break. so
I don’t think more exercise is the right way for me. If I exercised 1,000 hours a year, my instinct would have been worse than better.
– How do you explain it?
– I say that the best biathlon in recent years …
– Then you?
– Well, at least he doesn’t go faster on the track, maybe he is in the top three, he doesn’t have the highest percentage of shots and he doesn’t shoot faster either.
– But do you win?
– Yes, one can try to optimize as much as one can, I am not convinced that it is the best for the total result of the biathlon. If I squeeze too much on the way, I go too fast, I have too high a pulse on shots and feathers. It is important
find a certain flow and that flow that I feel I have found.
– Does that mean you are training to recreate achievements and not to improve?
– Ehh … a good question. I know I should have said it’s for the best, but it really is for recreating things. I think if I can recreate the best I’ve ever done, it’s good enough. I don’t need to stay
better, if I’m the best next year.
