The legendary Norwegian will no longer play at a professional level.
Two-time Olympic champion and ten-time world champion Tiril Eckhoff has announced his retirement.
The Norwegian posted a post on Instagram announcing his decision.
“Now I’m leaving biathlon. Last March I won two races in Golmenkollen. Little did I know then that these would be my last victories as a biathlete – I have plans to continue.
Biathlon has been my life for as long as I can remember, and it’s hard to imagine life without it. I had been away from it for a long time last year, so it felt like a natural transition to the step I took today. It’s strange and a little sad, but at the same time it’s right,” Eckhoff wrote.

It was previously reported that Marte Olsby Røiseland will retire at the end of the season.
