Triathlon: Sebastian Kiene announces career ends for 2023
I ve decided to be in sport for another two more years. And then it was that, said the 37-year-old Mühlacker in a video at YouTube. It feels funny to announce that, he admitted.
Over the past two years, the thoughts have grown on a resignation. Especially after he had to give up at the Challenge Roth at the beginning of September. After that he knew he needed a line. I wanted to stop with a clear line. And this line will be at the end of 2023, he said.
In the past few weeks he had thought a lot about it, have spoken with many people, of course with the family. Next year he wanted to win another long-distance world championship. 2023 will then be the farewell tour, he announced. I ll race that I could never do. And I want to see some places again. After 2023 he would no longer want to deny triathlon competitions. Maybe he will participate in other races, but without the pressure I made in the last and a half years.
Kiene has been one of the world s best triathlets on the long distance for years. Since the greatest success, 2014 has been the profit of the World Cup title in Hawaii. He justified the dominance of German athletes with the three-time winner Jan Frodeno and two-time world champion Patrick Lange in the following years. Kiene was once again second in the classic (2016) and twice thirds (2013, 2019). He also climbed three times to the European Champion in Frankfurt / Main (2014, 2016, 2017).
