Last weekend I competed at my first competition in this season. In the Italian city Mantova started over 1000 Athletes from 12 countries. The Swiss Team had a short travel because we have been training for one week at our favourite place Pusiano just before the race. My start into the first Regatta was just […]

Waiting for the season
When I write waiting it doesn’t mean, that I am sitting around somewhere lost with no idea what to do. In my situation it is another meaning. It is thinking, hoping and imagine all the time for the first competition of the upcoming season. Especially when I am training, every stroke has some connection to […]

My Escape from Swiss Winter
In the middle of January I just did my last exams at school. Just after I went to Tenero in the south of Switzerland for two weeks training camp. It was very nice to let school books at home and only put the sport stuff in my bag when I packed. When I came home […]

A solid World Championship in Moscow
Place 13 over 1000m in the K1 event. After my 12th place last year, I may should be disappointed with this result. There are many reasons to disagree to this opinion. First it is obvious that the concurrence was much harder than last year in Duisburg. For example Fernando Pimenta POR, Adam van Koeverden CAN, […]

Worlds in Moscow
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 […]

After Europeans is before Worlds
I just competed at my first Senior European Championships not even two weeks ago. With the results in Brandenburg I am satisfied. I was able to improve from race to race and I am at a equal level like last year. Maybe there is missing one or two seconds over 1000m to my best time, […]

Just before my first Europeans
On Friday I will be the first time part of an Senior European Championships. I already competed sucessfully at U23-Europeans, but the level is not comparable to what I expect in the next days. Over 850 Athletes from 40 Nations start to this biggest European Championship in Canoe/Kayak ever. I am the only Swiss Athletes […]

About Ups and Downs
After an allergic reaction to a antibiotic last December, I fought back to get good physics. And already in the end of January there was some improvement to see. I swam fast , my paddling was really okay and also the force in gym was better than ever. Good signs before the last winter training […]

Neues Jahr, Neues Auto, Neues Glück — New year, new car, new luck
Erstmals wünsche ich allen Leser ein gutes neues Jahr. Wie so oft liegt einige Zeit seit dem letzten Eintrag. Neben Trainingslager in Rapperswil, Tenero und Milfontes Portugal, bestritt ich auch drei Kanu-Marathons in Italien, Tschechien und in Portugal im Trainingslager. Die Trainingslager liefen eigentlich alle gut bis auf Portugal. Ich musste notfallmässig zum Zahnarzt und […]

Sometimes giving everything is not enough
More than one month ago, I was racing World Championships in Duisburg. It was a race with a lot of emotions before and after the race. After a surprising win in my Heat, I was in a really good positions for Semi-Final. But I knew before, that a Semi-Final is another game than the Heat. […]
