Biathlon dream wedding: Aymonier and Desthieux got married

Célia Aymonier and Simon Desthieux once stood together on the French national biathlon team. Aymonier ended her career in 2020, Desthieux two years later.

So, after the end of his successful biathlon career, Desthieux dedicates himself entirely to his small family, just as he announced after his retirement: "It's time for me to enjoy my family, my friends and my son!"

Biathlon dream wedding: Couple has already ended their careers

Célia Aymonier started her career in cross-country skiing and only switched to biathlon for the 2015/16 season. The 31-year-old was part of the French team for several years, but never made it onto the podium in an individual race. Nevertheless, she stood out because she was often the only starter not wearing gloves at the races, no matter how cold it was. With the French relay team, she managed three World Cup victories and landed on the podium another seven times.
