Greets from Soldeu

Hello everyone. Last Monday we went to Hinterreit for some training units, but unfortunately I hurt myself after a crash during a slalom run and injured parts of my ribs and muscles. Nevertheless I will start in Soldeu and do my best for the next races. After a long trip with some problems with the …more

Vive la France!

After all the discussions about a possible cancellation of all the races in France, I’m glad that we can start at Courchevel and my intensive training sessions this week at the Reiteralm in Austria made me confident for the technical races at the weekend. Further Courchevel is one of my favorite WorldCup spots with its …more

Back in America

Of course the races in Lake Louise could have been better but I’m quite satisfied with my results. The first race was difficult to judge, since the wind and weather conditions were very much changing, thus I was 9th, but at least 2nd out of the Top 7. The second and third race, I finished …more

Welcome to Canada

Sunday night we arrived in Lake Louise after a long trip from airport Calgary. But I’m always excited to be here, not only because of my successful races last year but also because of the beautiful landscape. Canada is amazing and the slopes of Lake Louise are one of my favorite ones in the world. …more

Well I survived the two “Speed Weeks” in Are and Tarvisio nearly undamaged. I had expected that I would probably lose few points to Lindsey in these 6 races (2x super combined, downhill 2x, 2x Super-G). But as the race in Are went so great, and the race in Tarvisio was quite good, I’ve only …more

What a tumultuous week! It started on Tuesday with Super-G, namely better than expected. To win a medal at the first race has taken a quite big pressure of me and made things easier. Unfortunately, the influenza got me afterwards and I had to let out both training sessions for the downhill because of the …more

Snow chaos in Sestriere

Unfortunately there is not much to tell about the last weekend from a sportive perspective While at home there was an incredible beautiful weather in Sestriere was snow chaos. Only a downhill training was possible and both races were cancelled because of the fog and the snow. At least I could train Slalom those two …more

The two cancellations of the races in Maribor were a pity for me. I was in a good shape and had a good first run. But as the slope was too soft it was too dangerous for the skiers – so it was for sure the right decision. As I had my “day off” yesterday …more

The races in Semmering were really good form – a beautiful ending for 2010! Now it goes on in Munich – I am really looking forward to that event! I am curious how it will be to ski at the “Olympia mountain” in the middle of the city. I wish you all a great New …more

We just made it- the year is over. I am looking back on 2009 really positively- after all I had my greatest career highlight in February at Val d’Isere when I won the gold medal in Slalom. The last year was from as sportive and private perspective really good for me. But the most exciting …more

Back from Are

Its short-time after midnight and I am finally back at home from a quite turbulent, but at least partially successful weekend in Are. As our charter arrived in Zurich, we had after arrival at 8 PM still a three hours drive home… It’s a pity that I again couldn’t manage to show what I can …more

Munich-Kühtai-Are

After two exhausting weeks with only one ski-free day (the journey day from USA to Canada) I arrived yesterday in Munich- unfortunately with three hours delay.
The weekend in Lake Louise was really good for me. As I couldn’t have so many speed-trainings in summer and Autumn I was really anxious how I would cope with …more
