The German biathletes are a "big family".
But not only the sports family, but also the “real” family is important - like that of Maren Hammerschmidt.
Ruhpolding - The tough preparations for the winter sports season are underway.
High altitude training camp, target practice or fitness units.
The biathletes train for their winter sports in midsummer.
A city biathlon race even took place in Wiesbaden on August 15th.
In the Hessian capital, Dorothea Wierer triumphed for women and Johannes Thingnes Bo for men.
Biathlon star Maren Hammerschmidt and twin sister Janin
For example, Maren Hammerschmidt was not there.
Born in Hesse, she didn't take part in the race, but her day didn't seem bad either.
She spent it with Janin Hammerschmidt.
Same name - a relative?
When you see the picture of the two, the similarity cannot be dismissed out of hand.

The fans even speculate: "Are you twins?" Yes, is the answer.
Janin also tried biathlon, but ended her career prematurely compared to her twin sister Maren.
The active biathlete only asked herself: “Will she bring me another ice cream?” And tagged the photo with a hashtag: “Twins”.
The fans are blown away by the selfie.
“Great photo” or “great picture” is what the comment column often says.
German biathlete Maren Hammerschmidt and Janin are in close contact
Evi Sachsenbacher-Stehle also leaves two “hearts” there.
The two sisters seem to continue to be in unique contact and to have a good relationship.
“You are world class.
You are one of the five best German biathletes.
You're a rock star, ”Janin wrote about Maren in February, for example.

In addition to her sporting career, Maren Hammerschmidt is also committed to animal welfare and was photographed without a cover to support a PETA campaign.
The native Hessin has meanwhile chosen the Upper Bavarian Ruhpolding as her training location - and seems to be very happy there.
