Born on November 14, 1988, in Mutlangen, West Germany, Simon Schempp began his biathlon career in 2001. His talent was evident early on, as he secured five medals at the Junior World Championships between 2007 and 2009. These included two gold medals in relay events in 2007 and 2009, a silver in pursuit in 2009, and two bronze medals in both pursuit (2007) and relay (2008). Schempp made his World Cup debut on March 11, 2009, and participated in his first Olympic Games in Vancouver in 2010, where he placed 5th in the relay event.
Schempp’s career progressed with significant achievements in the senior circuit. He earned his first gold medal with the national team at the 2010 World Championships in Khanty-Mansyisk in the mixed relay. In 2012, at the Biathlon World Championships held in his hometown of Ruhpolding, he contributed to a bronze medal in the relay. He repeated this success in 2013 with another relay bronze at the World Championships in Nove Mesto. January 2014 marked a turning point with his first individual World Cup victories: a 10 km sprint win in Antholz-Anterselva, followed by a 12.5 km pursuit win the next day. This strong performance led to a 10th place overall finish in the 2013-2014 season.
The 2014-2015 season saw Schempp achieve three more World Cup victories: a 15 km mass start in Ruhpolding, and a sprint and pursuit double in Antholz-Anterselva. He secured a gold medal in the relay at the World Championships in Kontiolahti, finishing 4th in the overall standings. The 2015-2016 season was even more successful, with five World Cup victories across sprint and pursuit events in Hochfilzen, Pokljuka, Antholz-Anterselva, and Khanty-Mansyisk. He also claimed two silver medals in the relay and mixed relay at the World Championships in Holmenkollen, concluding the season 4th overall with 769 points. Schempp earned an Olympic gold medal in the 4 x 7.5 km relay at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, a silver in the 15 km mass start, and a bronze in the 4 x 7.5 km relay at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. He also claimed individual World Championship gold in the 15 km mass start in Hochfilzen in 2017.
