The last two races were a personal disappointment – but that's exactly why they're motivation today. They remind me why I do this sport and why I'm here.

The season opener is done – and I can be happy with 9th place in Levi.

There was something to celebrate in Obergurgl: third place in a turbulent race in which, once again, everything came together for me. The pressure was huge.

After switching ski brands and lots of fine-tuning, things are looking up again – and I'm heading down the slopes as fast as possible. So I'm going into the coming races in Wengen, Kitzbühel and Schladming with a very good feeling. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
