Last season already, I had trouble to the idea of putting an end to my career with the Ski Flight Worlds as the ultimate goal. ”
“Having my sights set on the Olympics, the greatest goal of any sportsperson, gives me the motivation to approach the daily work of a top athlete with a lot of energy. I am confident that I will get great results again, “he added.
