Do you have a sporting background?

I have been doing Enduro and Motocross since I was 5 years old. I have raced at an elite level with starts in both the World Championships and the European Championships.

When, how and why did you start CrossFit?

Started CrossFit in 2011 as a strength part of my career in motorsport. But got so hooked on it that I put the helmet on the shelf just 8 months after starting CrossFit. And now there is nothing else in my sports life.

What are your goals in CrossFit?

My goal is to make it to The CrossFit Games 2016 and to win all the other competitions in Europe I compete in.

What do you do when you're not training and competing?

I am a co-owner and run Crossfit Lerum when I'm not training and competing. It's a fantastically fun job.

What does a typical training week look like?

A training week contains about 8-10 sessions for me when I'm in my strength period. The closer it is to the competition, the fewer sessions there will be. Otherwise, it's usually a strength/weightlifting session after breakfast, eat some lunch and then a cardio session. I always have 2 full rest days when I go for long walks with my dog ​​Bella.

What is your biggest CrossFit success?

My biggest CrossFit success is probably winning the Turkish Throwdown in 2015 and winning the German Throwdown in 2014.

Do you have any role models in sports?

I don't have a specific athlete as a role model, but I find it incredibly fun to see all the members' progress in boxing, so they are my role models.

What is your biggest vice?

No!

What is your favorite WOD?

I just LOVE the "Nancy" workout - 5 laps for time with 400m run and 15 OHS 43 kg. It's made for me.

What do you like best about CLN Athletics products?

CLN's products are the best clothing on the market for CrossFit athletes. They are developed by CrossFit athletes and have a material that withstands an incredible amount of friction and transports sweat away in an outstanding way.

What are your favorite products from CLN?

The Rapid shorts are absolutely my favorite piece of clothing. Lightweight shorts that can withstand a lot.
