In my last season I'm making history in every race.
In my last season, I make history in every race. I'm so happy. It was difficult today. Sometimes it was icy, sometimes it very bumpy. The snow was very fast. It was difficult to find my timing.
The snow was soft today and you had to go with a lot of feeling. The light was not so good, but the course was good.
Before I set off I focused hard on my pre-race inspection to log everything in my head like a computer, I went over the curse 100 times in my head.
It's a big day in my life today. For every racer and every competitor the best thing is to stay on top. I had a special moment on the podium when no one was speaking to me. I really enjoyed that moment.
I went home (after the championships) and I was sick for two-three days, so my boyfriend made me some tea. Now I'm back.
Last night I woke up several times, and even in the dark all I could see were the rings. I became obsessed with them.
I had the right reaction. If I had another reaction maybe I would have crashed with him and someone would have died, maybe.
That elusive medal was probably the thing that kept me skiing. I didn't sleep for two nights because I kept thinking about it.
That elusive medal is probably the thing that has kept me skiing.
