"I started running as preparation for the winter season for competing in ski mountaineering races. Initially with vertical races, then moving on to skyraces, marathons, and now entering the world of ultras."
"My true nature is skyrunning, where I can express myself best. But I've always loved challenging myself, finding new motivation and inspiration to discover new things about myself. Almost like personal challenges. This year I decided to attempt my first 100-kilometer race at the CCC, but first I wanted to test myself on a race longer than my comfort zone, and I decided to come to Transvulcania because I've always admired it as a race. And here I am."
"I managed to see the first section of the climb, about 13 or 14 kilometers. I was fascinated by the terrain and the landscape. I knew the upper part of the race would be simply stunning, and it was."
