Why do you Telemark? I skied in alpine until I was 17 and started telemark skiing because I wanted to try something new. The feeling on the snow was different and I was basically hooked.

What is your favorite Telemark discipline? My favourite discipline is probably the parallel. I think it is really interesting because you have to stay cool between your runs and manage your thoughts

How often do you train per Week? Whats your favorite Training? 5-7 times a week. I find it interesting to mix things up a bit but a good biking tour is what I like most.

What was the best experience of your career so far? My title in sprint at the Junior World Championships in Mürren (SUI). Almost at home, that was something special that I will keep in my head for a long time.

Whats your favorite race on the World Cup Calendar? The home races in Thyon (SUI)

**Tell us something  we should know about you...**I failed the first exam at the snow garden and I had to take 3 additional day of lessons to pass it.

Last but not least..what do you wish for the Future? To have fun on the telemark skis.
