400 missions
Hooray! Hooray! “Master Eder” and his living room
Salzburg biathlon icon Simon Eder has competed 400 times in the Beletage. In Hochfilzen, the 41-year-old still has a unique selling point. He looks back on his long career with the "Krone" and also talks about his unfulfilled dream.
Biathlete Simon Eder has trained and competed in Hochfilzen so often that he knows every snowflake by its first name. The 41-year-old from Saalfelden, who competed in his 400th individual race at the highest level in Kontiolahti, is also still the only Austrian to have stood on the podium in an individual race in the Pillerseetal. Before returning to his living room, "Master Eder" took time out for the "Krone" to talk about ...
Perhaps my first victory in 2009 in Khanty-Mansiysk. I was carefree then and didn't let anyone take the butter off my bread.
Simon Eder über sein bestes Rennen
... his most important companions: my family! In the beginning it was mom and dad, then my wife Kati came along and with the birth of my daughter Marlene a lot changed again.
... his fountain of youth: I don't have that. I just hang in there!
... his best race: Perhaps my first victory in Khanty-Mansiysk in 2009. I was carefree then and didn't let anyone take the butter off my bread.
... his favorite and most difficult teammates: None of them were difficult, there is no favorite either. My favorite is the single room (laughs).
... his role model: That's definitely my dad!
... His best quality: My tenacity. And my nose. When I smell a rat, I don't let up.
... His biggest weakness: My mom always calls me a smartass.
... his most important lesson: never run with a sore throat and never with a fever anyway. Your body will give you the comeback.
... his biggest unfulfilled dream: a gold medal! After all, I was junior world champion.
... his most formative experience: The birth of my daughter!
... his Hochfilzen: What stands out is the relay victory in 2009 and the three individual podiums. I also scored my first points there. These are things that stay in my memory.
