Do you have a sporting background?

I have been doing Enduro and Motocross since I was 5 years. I have participated on an elite level with both World and European Championship starts.

When, how and why did you start training CrossFit?

I started to train CrossFit 2011 as a part of strength traing in my career in motorsport. I fell in love with the sport, so much that I put the helmet on the shelf only 8 months after I started CrossFit. And now there's nothing else in my sport life.

What are your goals in CrossFit?

My goal is to qualify for The CrossFit Games in 2016 and to win all the other competitions in Europe that I compete in.

What do you do when you are not training and competing?

I'm part owner and operates CrossFit Lerum when I'm not training and competing. It is a fantastic job.

What does a typical training week look like?

A training week includes about 8-10 sessions for me when I am in my strength period. The closer to the competitions, the fewer sessions. Otherwise usually a strength workout/weightlifting after breakfast, then eat some lunch and then a cardio session. I have always two full rest days when I go for long walks with my dog Bella.

What is your main CrossFit success?

My biggest success is probably the first place of Turkish Throwdown 2015 and the top podium spot of the German Throwdown 2014.

Do you have any role model in the sport?

I have no specific athlete as a role model, but I think it is incredibly fun to see the progress of our members in the box. They are my role models!

What's your biggest vice?

Nothing!

What is your favorite WOD?

I just love the wod "Nancy" - 5 laps for Time, 400m run and 15 OHS 43 kg. It is made for me.

What do you like best CLN Athletics products?

The CLN products are the best clothes on the market for CrossFit athletes. They are developed by CrossFit athletes and are producing products in materials that can withstand incredible amount of friction and transport sweat in a unique way.

What are your favorite products from CLN?

Rapid shorts are definitely my favorite pieces. Lightweight shorts that can withstand a lot.
