World Series #8 Short Track: From last place to the front row

From last place to the front row

After earning some world ranking points at the last World Cup in Les Gets and at the World Championships in Short Track, I qualified again for Short Track in Lenzerheide. As the last rider to be called up, I was able to make up a lot of positions from the halfway point onwards with my classic tactic of observing and waiting for the right moments. This is also visible in the race analysis which shows I had the fastest or second fastest lap times from lap 4 of the 12 laps. In the end, I finished in 8th place, which meant that for the first time this season, I secured a starting place in the front row for Sunday's cross-country race. I am extremely happy that, after a difficult day at the XCO World Championships, I was able to achieve such success in the XCC just five days later.

Thank you to my team and my coach for this great day!
