Polar helps me as a marathon pro with my training management and to perfectly balance training load and recovery. I wouldn't want to train without my Polar Vantage V anymore.

Proudest sporting moment:

My first finished marathon in Berlin in 2015. My time of 2:12:50h is still my personal best but also was my ticket to the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016 which made a childhood dream for me come true.
