MTB Fourcross World Champs Bronze Medalist
I love to exercise my body on a daily basis - doesn’t matter if its on bike, running, skiing or fitness. Working with Polar gives me the possibility to track and evaluate training perfectly and helps keeping an eye on my training status and fatigue while travelling and following my busy schedule. Polar Flow App is one of my top 3 apps on the phone: easy to handle and gives all the important information about my training.
About
Since I was 12 years old my life has been all about riding and racing bicycles. First I started with BMX, then various MTB disciplines and for training I also use my road bike a lot. I am a very ambitious and driven type when it comes to training and competition. Although I concentrate more on bike adventures and guiding now, I still want to be the best version of myself and able to conquer all the tasks I set myself. I have been a Polar athlete since 2018, which has helped me to reach my goals more effectively.
