I am in Moscow at the moment and have two days left to the World Championship here. It’s my second time that I stay here. Last time it was in 2010 at the U23 Europeans where I finished 12th together with Christophe Nicolet in the K2. A lot of things changed to this time. I am racing K1 and am too old for U23. But also the course is totally renovated. There is a new finish tower out of glass. The warm up channel has two small channels at 500m and 1000m which are connected to the race course. The boat hangar, locker room and eating place are totally new. Also the grandstand is newer and bigger and they build a new huge flat screen for the spectators.
The Swiss team has 5 competitors and we are coached as always by National Coach Ingolf Beutel.
K1 Men 1000m / 5000m: Fabio Wyss
K1 Men 500m: Stefan Domeisen
K1 Women 500m / 1000m: Melanie Mathys
K1 Women 5000m: Noemi Brüschweiler
K2 Women 500m / 1000m: Noemi Brüschweiler / Livia Haudenschild
