Why do you Telemark? I started because I was bored by alpin skiing. My mum put me in the Telemark club at Les Houches and I never stopped.
What is your favorite Telemark discipline? I don't think I really have one favorite discipline but I think I like Classique more than the other because you only have one run and you give your best.
How often do you train per Week? Whats your favorite Training? I usually Train 3-4-5 days a week. It depends of the season. During summer it's about 5 days a week but in winter it's only 3 because I have to studdy. But I have time with uni to skip school and ski more this year.
What was the best experience of your career so far? I think it was in La Plagne (FRA). It was my first World Cup race and I was so exited about doing it!
Whats your favorite race on the World Cup Calendar? Pralogant-La-Vanoise (FRA)
It's not far from my home, it's always well organised and the slope is perfect for me. The snow is hard enought but not icy (because there is no sun!).
Last but not least..what do you wish for the Future? I think we need a FIS Cup between our French Cup and World Cup circuit. But at least, I hope that Telemark will be an Olympic Event (even if i'll maybe be too old to race).
