Win a medal at the Olympic Winter Games. "The Olympic medal wasn’t my childhood dream. Now I’m really happy to be at the top level and I think the Olympic medal may come one day." (Biathlon World Magazine, Issue 49)
Does not fill out training diaries, or knows the number of hours he completes in a season. "I am more relaxed, that I let myself take a rest when the others keep training. My way to be a better biathlete is to train well but to relax and to take time for myself as well. Such a balanced way makes me stronger than if I only trained more and more." (ledauphine.com, Mar 2019; Biathlon World Magazine, Issue 49)
