Who is Rebecca Passler, who is being talked about so much as of today.

Rebecca Passler, about whom so much has been talked about since Monday, just days before the start of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, grew up in a family deeply connected to sports. In fact, he is a nephew of the sport: his uncle Johann Passler won two Olympic bronze medals and four World Championship medals, including two gold medals in the relay. She took up biathlon around the age of eight, spurred on by the example of her older sister Greta and a deeply rooted tradition among the young people of the Antholz Valley.

In his youth career, he collects outstanding results, with five podiums at the World Junior Championships. Prominent among them is the gold in the women’s 4×6 km relay achieved in Soldier Hollow in 2022. She makes her World Cup debut at the end of November 2021, in the Swedish leg in Östersund.

The best individual finish comes in December 2025, when she closes 11th in the Annecy-Le Grand Bornand mass start, touching the top ten. A result she manages to replicate a few weeks later, in early 2026, with 11th place in the sprint in Oberhof, Thuringia.

Out of competitions he loves to spend his free time with friends and enjoy vacations. She has a strong passion for aesthetic body care, and among the hobbies that relax her the most are nail art and massage.

“I’m starting to feel that they’re getting closer, also because on Instagram the names of those who are going to the Games come out all the time and of course I think about it. There are still these races and you have to do well, but it’s nice to think that the home Olympics are coming. If I felt some Olympic atmosphere in Antholz? Zero, also because everything is closed and I went to shoot in Antholz below, where a range has been set up with two silhouettes” he said about ten days ago in an interview granted to Fondo Italia.
