Double Olympic biathlon champion Olga Zaitseva told that Wolfgang Pichler was an iconic specialist for her.
At the end of June, Pichler, 69, started working with the Bulgarian national team. The Bulgarian Biathlon Federation announced that the German specialist had been hired as a consultant and would participate in the training process.
— I heard that Pichler got a job in the Bulgarian national team. He is an important specialist for me. Recently I looked through his letters with training plans by mail and thought: “I haven’t written to him for a long time, I need to write. And then this news comes: he got the job. It’s cool! We keep in touch with him – we congratulate each other on birthdays and holidays. I will definitely write to him and congratulate him,” Zaitseva told .
Pichler led the Swedish national team from 1995 to 2011, worked with the Russian national team from 2011 to 2014, after which he returned to the Swedish team. The winners and medalists of the Olympic Games and World Championships Magdalena Forsberg, Anna-Karin Zidek (Olofsson), Helena Ekholm, Bjorn Ferry, Hannah Oeberg, Sebastian Samuelsson trained under his leadership.
