THE RIGHT MOMENT – At the top and yet never arrived – my passion biathlon
(2023)

In this book, together with my long-time manager Sascha Russotti, I look back on my career and give an insight into the world of professional sport, which otherwise only those involved know: I tell of the mental pressure before the races and how I withstood it, of difficult decisions made by my coaches, of people who pushed me forward, of my friendship with the wind and of what happens behind the scenes of the Olympic Games.

It feels so surreal that I will soon be holding my own story in print. It has been an incredible journey for Sascha and I to write this book and I sincerely hope that you will love it as much as we did!
It has been a great challenge to reconstruct, weave, research and follow the development of the stories in my memory, but it has been worth every single word.
Together we would like to thank the Athesia-Tappeiner publishing house for the trust they put in us and the sponsors who made the publication of the book possible.
In particular, our heartfelt thanks go to:
- Cooperativa di sviluppo regionale Martello 3B
- KIKU Apples
- Cassa Raiffeisen in Brunico
- Jewellery and atelier TIROLER GOLDSCHMIED in Scena
- Hotel Quelle Nature Spa Resort in Casies
They supported our project without hesitation from the beginning.
I hope the book will take you into a world of sport in which you can lose yourself.
I am looking forward to your feedback. Maybe there will also be an English and Italian edition of this book.
Yours, Dominik
