"The training year traditionally begins on May 1st, so the first days of training are already behind me," wrote the 33-year-old on Instagram on Thursday. "As is well known, winter athletes are made in summer. The first sore muscles is already clearly noticeable. Nevertheless: the joy for the daily draft setting is great and I burn for the home World Cup in Oberhof with you fans!"
Clearly: Oberhof would be another huge destination.
Denise Herrmann
The Saxon had won in the singles in the winter games in Beijing Gold in February and thus fulfilled a lifelong dream. After that, she had left questions about a possible career end. "In order to be able to achieve maximum performance, a lot has to be right. And if you have been there for a few years, you know what to do with it," said the former long runner in early April to the "Sächsische Zeitung". Now the home World Cup in February 2023 is in its focus in the Thuringian Oberhof. "Clearly: Oberhof would be a huge destination again. Above all, it would be nice if spectators could come again after two years and you can experience the mood for the Oberhof," said Herrmann.
She is currently building a house with her fiance Thomas Wick, a former cross -country skier, in her adopted home of Ruhpolding. They also want to start a family, which is why Herrmann did not seem excluded to end their career after their triumph at the Olympics. In just one year, the three former relay world champion Arnd Peiffer, Simon Schempp and Erik Lesser declared their resignation within just one year.
In 2019, Herrmann became world champion in the persecution. In total, she brings it to six World Cup and two Olympic medals. In Beijing, she secured the German team as the final runner season bronze.
