Why do you Telemark? Because that is a complete discipline which contain 3 differents "sports" (giant slalom, ski jumping and cross country skiing). I like Telemark also because i can find new sensations and differents than in alpine skiing.

What is your favorite Telemark discipline? My favorite telemark discipline is the sprint because it's not too long like the classic and not to short like the parallel. This is in Sprint where I can at best express my ski.

How often do you train per Week? Whats your favorite Training? It depends on the season... Between 3 and 4 trainings during the autumn, not a lot in the spring. Then during the winter there is a lot of trainings during december and 2 weeks in march and less just before races. My favorite training is giant slalom.

What was the best experience of your career so far? The best experience of my career is my first podium in World Cup in Samoens this season with a third place!

Whats your favorite race on the World Cup Calendar? I love La Thuile (ITA) and I loved Meribel (FRA) because that's two steep slopes. Otherwise others slopes are often a little bit flat and I don't like that...

**Tell us something  we should know about you...**In 2018 in Rjukan, during the parallel sprint of the worldcup, Thomas Rufer has been hinder by a slider who was in his track, so Thomas fell and ran into me so i crashed violently and i finished on the net behind the loom... I was ok but the top of my right boot was bisect ! But fortunately for some centimeters it was my boot and not my leg !

Last but not least..what do you wish for the Future? For the future i wish do a podium at the World Championship, win a Worldcup  and improve my skating because that's my main weakness...
