I am Anni Drazek. I was a track and field athlete until 2014 and switched to bobsledding in 2014. There I am a pusher in the national team, a two-time world champion, a multiple European champion and a World Cup winner. I am also a federal police officer in sports promotion.
What does your typical daily routine look like?
Almost nothing works without a first coffee! This is followed by a delicious and balanced breakfast, usually porridge, but always with my favorite toppings. Then we go to the first training session of the day. Lunch follows in between. Then often another training session, usually a supplementary unit such as jumps or stabilization training. My regeneration through physiotherapy or osteopathy should not be missed either. In the evening I like to spend time with friends, go out, and take time for all the things besides sports.
What was the best moment in your career so far?
My world championship title and taking part in the Olympic Games and coming 4th there.
What is important to you in your diet?
It has to be varied, fresh, colorful (and of course often healthy ;)). Often, especially with my lunches, things have to be quick and easy.
What do you do in your free time?
I really enjoy making time for my family and friends. I like to travel very spontaneously. Balancing and switching off from my sport is very important to me.
How has Corona affected your everyday life as a competitive athlete?
Initially, of course, I was missing my training facilities. Like most other athletes, I had to train outside most of the time. My gym was my trainer’s garage. My stadium the forest. Everything is absolutely not optimal. Towards the summer everything went back to its “more normal” path, which was important for us as the season was approaching. Corona was of course omnipresent during the season. Races ran differently, venues changed, the competition was absent or was only partially represented. During this time, I personally began to stop taking many things for granted.
“You can recognize me from afar…?”
My coffee in hand ;)
