Magdalena Neuner

Today I want to talk with you about my favourite athlete.

Magdalena Neuner

Magdalena Neuner is a German biathlete and she is one of the best athlete in the whole world of biathlon. She started doing this sport when she was nine years old. From this moment she was one of the bests in her age all around Germany. She won all the competitions. Her career in the German national team started early when she arrived 18. One year later she won her first three World Championship Gold Medals (2007). Her success grew year to year. Now she has already 10 gold medals and 2 Olympic Golds. She is know for her high quality of skiing, only the shooting is not always good. Besides sport she lives in in a small village calls Wallgau where she grews up.

I really like her because she stayed normal while her success. Her private life is important to her, that's the reason why she finishs her career in March 2012. Magdalena Neuner, or Lena like her friends call her, want to live a life like everyone else. My favourite athlete is a sympathetic person with a great sense of humour and the most thing I like about her is that sport isn't the most important thing in her life.
