Simone Hye-Soon Hauswald (* 3. May 1979 in Rottweil as Simone Hye-Soon Denkinger ) is a former German biathlete .

Career

At the age of six, the daughter of a South Korean and a German started cross-country skiing . She graduated from the Furtwangen ski boarding school . Four years later she switched to biathlon . The low point of the sports soldier's career was in 2002 when she slipped on an ice sheet and broke her shin, which threw her back in her sporting development by a year.

For the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, she came with the German team, but was only nominated as a substitute runner. That is why Hauswald traveled back to Wehingen at home soon after the start of the games to train for the following competitions.

At the beginning of the 2008/2009 season, she started in the Alpine Cup in Obertilliach because of an Achilles tendon irritation , where she won the 7.5 km sprint and the 10 km pursuit. In her season debut in the World Cup, Simone Hauswald was on the podium for the first time in a World Cup race at the second race weekend of the 2008/2009 season in Hochfilzen in the 7.5 km sprint after a faultless shooting performance, and the pursuit the next day she finished third. At the 2009 Biathlon World Championships , Hauswald was second in the sprint behind Kati Wilhelm and won her only individual medal at a world championship. In the subsequent pursuit, she finished twelfth after missing eight shots. For a short time she was used for the sick Magdalena Neuner in the mixed relay and won the bronze medal together with starter Andrea Henkel , Arnd Peiffer and Michael Greis .

At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, she won bronze in the mass start and bronze in the relay with Kati Wilhelm, Martina Beck and Andrea Henkel.

After her victory in the Oslo sprint on March 18, 2010, she and Martina Beck announced that they would end their sporting career after the 2009/2010 season. Hauswald crowned her career when, with first place in the pursuit race, she caught up with the few biathletes who were able to celebrate World Cup successes in all disciplines, and also won all individual races on Holmenkollen after the mass start. On March 25, 2010, Hauswald won the sprint world cup of the 2009/2010 biathlon world cup with fourth place in the sprint in Khanty-Mansiysk . In the overall ranking of the Biathlon World Cup 2009/2010 , she reached second place.

In the last race of her career on March 28, 2010 in Khanty-Mansiysk, she won the world title in the mixed relay together with Magdalena Neuner, Simon Schempp and Arnd Peiffer.

Simone Hauswald was honored with the Silver Laurel Leaf on May 1st 2010 by Federal President Köhler along with other winter sports enthusiasts, including Kati Wilhelm .
