What is important to you in your diet?

In my diet there are “discipline phases” in which I eat what helps my body perform at its best and “feel-good phases” in which I eat whatever I feel like at the moment. That's why I can't say: I'm strictly vegetarian or vegan, because when I'm feeling good I like to eat a juicy piece of meat. Living these different phases to the full is very important to me!

What do you usually do in your free time?

I most enjoy spending time with my family and friends. What we do then is secondary.

How has Corona affected your everyday life as a competitive athlete?

Time has definitely strengthened my dream of a home gym :-). Otherwise, we became creative as a training group during the lockdown and were able to train as before - with more mindfulness and in smaller groups.
