Biathlon star Dorothea Wierer reports with a video on Instagram.
She puts her fans in anticipation - but there is also criticism.
Idre / Sweden - Winter is coming, it's getting colder again - not everyone likes the cool season.
Winter sports enthusiasts long for this moment, however, because then the new season is just around the corner.
While alpine skiers have long been training on the glaciers, biathletes naturally have to wait a little longer.
After all, the trail is in the valley.
Now, however, the biathletes are also back on the snow.
Italy's biathlon ace Dorothea Wierer shared a video from her first training session on a white surface.
To do this, she traveled to Sweden by her own jet.
There is no natural snow there either, but a thick white swath of artificial snow runs through the forests.
Dorothea Wierer is training on snow again for the first time - fans are thrilled
Right in the middle: three-time world champion Wierer.
In September, she had complained of trouble sleeping and poor physical condition.
Has she got over that now?
In any case, she seems happy, a happy smile flits across her make-up cheeks.
In a skating step, she glides over the frozen water in a good mood in a yellow winter jacket.

“The first time on skis,” she writes about the video - certainly an emotional moment for competitive athletes like her.
Her fans are happy about the clip, her hearts fly to her in the comments.
But one fan thinks: "What a sad place, there is no snow at all." For another post a week ago, it also received a lot of criticism.
