Some of his athletes are older than him: Johannes Lukas, just 27 years old, continues the work of successful German biathlon trainer Wolfgang Pichler in Sweden.
The sports scientist from Munich was already on the track as Pichler's assistant at the 2018 Olympic Games, and has been the head coach since last season - with great success.
WORLD:
Mr. Lukas, you are 27 years old and the national coach of a biathlon nation that is not exactly small.
Crazy, right?
Johannes Lukas:
Sure, it is definitely a special situation in which I am there. But that strikes me above all because many people ask me about it, it doesn't matter to me. And to be honest: this was never actually my plan, let alone my goal for later. In this respect: yes, that's crazy.
