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
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
That was an amazing week in St Moritz. Even I began to be a little tired by this tough month of january, I did my best week-end ever in speed event. I decided not racing the supercombine and stay focus on the downhill and that was a good choice. 2nd saturday and 6th sunday. Really …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
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
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
The race in Aspen didn’t work out that good for me. But I have to say, that the conditions were really hard. The slope was like a skating ring and so also the best skiers had troubles with the grip. I am not really upset about my performance at the Giant Slalom. At the first …more
Puh, I am quite tired! But fortunately we finally arrived in the USA. The event in Moscow was definitely worth stress and strains. It was an amazing atmosphere and a great experience to take part at a race in the middle of a big city. Despite I was a little bit upset with my three-hundredth …more
Wow! I really won the first Slalom of the season in Levi! After my rather weak training performance of the last weeks I didn`t really had a good feeling about the race. I had never thought that I would be able to win the race ! The more lucky I am that it worked out. …more
