1. What sport do you do and how did you get into it?
I participate in athletics in the short sprint discipline, namely 100 m and 200 m. Back then, as a seven-year-old, I watched an international competition on TV and then told my parents that I wanted to do that too. A few weeks later, I had my first competition.
2. What makes your sport special?
The combination of speed and the feeling of having to deliver at the right moment repeatedly creates a thrill that makes the short sprint so special.
3. What has been your greatest sporting achievement so far
The World Championships with the 4x100m relay finishing in 6th place this year were very special for me, but also the German Championship title in the 200m indoors was a highlight.
4. How do you deal with the "hole" after a big competition?
In addition to physical recovery with light exercise, yoga, and physiotherapy, mental recovery is also important to me to recharge properly. That's why I like to meet up with friends or read a good book to mentally unwind a bit.
5. What is your hobby outside of sports?
I meet with friends, enjoy reading crime novels, and cook new recipes.
6. What motivates you to get up every day?
Besides my studies, I am looking forward to the training itself because we are a great training group that always motivates me to go to the limit. In addition to the group, the goals for the next season, with a European Championship and the Olympic Games, are also a great motivation.
