The 35-year-old got the finish she wanted. She finished at home in South Tyrol after her fourth Olympics. She won a silver in the mixed relay and finished fifth in the final race, the mass start.

A medal is good. I think I'm at a good level for my age, she says.

She says she has a few job offers to choose from. But it won't be in biathlon.

But in sports, she says.

However, she does not aim to become a coach in the future.

It's hard as a woman; there are too many men in this sport.

German biathlete Franziska Preuss is also retiring. She won the overall World Cup last season.
