One more last weekend of competition, from Friday to Sunday in Oslo, and it will be over.
Simon Desthieux announced on Tuesday that he was going to end his career at 30.
“This week will be my last World Cup, it's time for me to leave biathlon, wrote the Olympic champion in the mixed relay in Pyeongchang on his Twitter account.
After 10 years on this world circuit, I want to do something else.
So thank you to those who helped me grow, who believed in me, who allowed me to live this beautiful passion.
