In Beijing, Katharina Hennig 2022 celebrated the greatest success of her career so far with Olympic gold. If you should win a medal again next year, this would happen under another surname.
Katharina Hennig will start under the name Hennig-Dotzler in the World Cup in the future. The long runner from the WSC Erzgebirge Oberwiesenthal married her long -time partner Christian Dotzler at the weekend.
The wedding took place in a hunting lodge in Hindelang in the Allgäu. In addition to the civil registry, there was also a free ceremony. “It was very emotional, and tears flowed. Fortunately, the weather played great. It was everything as we had imagined-just a dream day,” said the team sprint Olympic champion of the “Chemnitz Freie Presse”. About 75 guests were there at the celebration.
The couple then traveled to the Maldives. The honeymoon will end in time before the start of the preparation for the Olympic season. Then the 28-year-old will return to the competition calendar for the first time under her new double name.
