“I was more or less born with skis on my feet and almost an entire nation expected me to save ‘Ski Germany’. I knew this wouldn’t be an easy journey. I have failed, fought, cheered, screamed, celebrated, hidden, cried with joy, fallen and stood back up again and again! And why? Not because others wanted me to, but because I love this damn sport so much.”

I am a NORQAINER – my life, my way
