Overview
- Franziska Preuß and her long‑term partner Simon Schempp announced on social media that they are expecting their first child, with the couple indicating a February due date.
- The news follows Preuß’s retirement from competitive biathlon about a year earlier and her reported admission to an architecture program in Rosenheim.
- The post drew wide congratulations from the biathlon community, including an Instagram comment from World Cup leader Lou Jeanmonnot.
- Preuß and Schempp live in Ruhpolding, where they built a home, and Schempp works for the German Ski Association, tying the couple’s personal plans to their local sports network.
- The pregnancy and upcoming studies mark a clear change in Preuß’s daily life as she moves from the demands of elite sport toward family life and civilian studies, which may keep her connected to the biathlon scene through personal and local ties.
