Reinhard Gösweiner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reinhard Gösweiner (born April 12, 1972 ) is an Austrian biathlon trainer who was head trainer in the Austrian Ski Association for several years .

The Gösweiner from Windischgarsten in Upper Austria is a trained toolmaker and technical draftsman as well as a trained cross-country and biathlon trainer. Until 2008 he looked after the junior biathletes of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) in the Nordic Training Center in Eisenerz and in this function became a close supporter of Dominik Landertinger . Two years after the 2006 Winter Olympics , which had led to a doping scandal involving the biathletes Perner and Rottmann , Gösweiner, who had no prejudice in this regard, took over part of the World Cup team around Landertinger and Christoph Sumann . At the 2009 World Championships , Landertinger and Sumann celebrated a double victory in the mass start, while Sumann and the Austrian relay team each won a silver medal at the 2010 Olympic biathlon competitions . The ÖSV led Gösweiner from 2010 to 2012 as head coach. After the 2011/12 season , in which the Austrian biathletes remained without a World Cup podium or World Cup medal, the association signed Remo Krug as Gösweiner's successor and put the Upper Austrian back into the junior division.

In 2014, Gösweiner was reappointed Austrian head coach and took on responsibility for the men's, women's and junior areas. Markus Gandler, as the athletic director for biathlon in the ÖSV, saw Gösweiner's task in rejuvenating the Austrian team, consisting primarily of over 30-year-old athletes, with a view to the 2017 home World Cup in Hochfilzen . During the following four years, Julian Eberhard in particular established himself among the world's best . Eberhard started the World Cup in 2006, but only celebrated his first World Cup victory in 2016. At the 2017 World Championships, the men's relay and Simon Eder - who at that time was training in the private training group Biathlon Forge (under Alfred Eder and Sandra Flunger ) - who was independent from the ÖSV - each won a bronze medal. After the 2018 Winter Olympics , when Dominik Landertinger won another bronze medal, Ricco took over from Groß Gösweiner as head coach. Gösweiner initially took on a position in the ÖSV youth team before he announced his move to the Belarusian women's team in spring 2020.

Gösweiner is described as "calm and prudent". In an article for the daily newspaper Die Presse , the journalist Roland Vielhaber also emphasized Gösweiner's meticulousness: In preparation for the 2010 Winter Games, the trainer in Austria and his helpers completely rebuilt the Olympic trail for his athletes.
