1. What makes Nordic Combined the best sport in the world? 
Nordic Combined is the best sport in the world, because of the opportunity you have to do two sports that are completely different. This way it is always challenging! Another reason why it’s the best sport, is because of the atmosphere that I feel every time I compete and the people with whom I share all my experiences. We’re just a big and beautiful family!

2. Which profession would you have chosen, if you wouldn’t have become a Nordic Combined athlete? 
I would have been a swimmer or a child neuropsychiatrist.

3. How do you like to spend your time, when you’re not training or competing? 
Normally when I’ve some time for myself, I study for the university exams or I love to spend time with my family, travel or go to the theatre.
