I've heard that Gwizdon and Palka (Guzik, habits die hard) might retire as well or are these just rumours?

And today after winning medal at National Championships Guzik said that she will not retire now, she wants compete at least one season more.

Honestly, who wouldn't want to finish their career in a season where the World Championships are held in the magical Ostersund. It's a place where the majority of world cup careers has started and a sentimental place to every athlete on the world cup.

@Skijumpingmaster Hey, I was wondering. I've heard that Svendsen is retiring, is it true or just a simple rumour?

He has talked about it. But nothing is official.

The legend Ole Einar Bjørndalen retires from biathlon . He'll make it official later today.

Where did you see that? All I found was "Tuesday he will announce his future plans". Not that it'd be surprising of course

Thankfully she finished by giving us a spectacular Olympic 30k race! That was so much fun!
