Tim Grotian -
Successes:
Two-time vice junior world champion
Junior European champion
IBU Junior Cup overall winner
Birthday: 02/10/1998
Profession: Chief customs guard
Club: SC Mittenwald
Hobbies: Sports in general. I am outdoors a lot and like to spend time in nature.
Role model: Laura Dahlmeier – I met Laura at the training base and saw how focused she was on working to achieve success. She is something of a perfectionist who has tried to adjust every setting to achieve optimal performance. But she has always been a completely natural person. What's important to me: It is important to me to preserve the beauty and diversity of the natural world for the generations to come and to help counteract climate change. That is the reason why I decided to convert my home to solar energy last year. Viessmann expertise was invaluable to me in doing this.
