Philipp Horn fulfilled two dreams last season: a podium finish in the World Cup and competing at the Winter Olympics. In an interview with Biathlonworld, he explains why he has mixed feelings about the Olympic mass start race and how he is already planning for life after his career. Biathlonworld: Philipp, you’ve just had the most successful season of your biathlon career. Your third place in the sprint at Hochfilzen was your first World Cup podium finish. On top of that, you competed at the Winter Olympics. What have you learnt this season? Philipp Horn: I’ve learnt that things never go perfectly in biathlon. The Olympics and a podium finish in the World Cup were major goals that I managed to achieve. I’d been working towards them for a long time, and I’m all the happier that it’s worked out now. But not everything went to plan. That’s just part of the game. BW: What was your experience of the Winter Olympics in Antholz? PH: I was thrilled right from the start. When I walked into the stadium on the first day and saw the Olympic rings, that was my very own magical moment. I looked forward to the races every single day.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
