Tarjei Bö announced his decision in tears: "My wife is here, plus the victory. This is the perfect day for this big announcement," said the 36-year-old Norwegian after winning the sprint in Antholz. "I already knew before the season that it would be my last. My feeling in my body was, now it's enough, I don't want to work for the Olympics anymore, because it's very hard work."
Bö also explained that he wanted to stop at the peak: "I felt all winter that it was time. I'm still one of the best biathletes in the world, and that's how I want to end it."
Tarjei Bö has won the Olympic relay twice in his career. He also won Olympic gold in the mixed relay. He won eleven world championship titles. He also became the youngest overall World Cup winner in the biathlon.
