My sporting career

Autumn arrived in Switzerland 🍂🍁 Love to look at these beautiful sceneries and to share the colder winter winds with @axpogroup to either have fun on the water or producing energy from it 🌬

It's the end of a long season 🌟 we had good practice and racing here in Cagliari with the girls in a big mix of all conditions. Especially the Mistral offshore wind on 11m kites we haven't had for quite some time, so it was good to "refresh" this kind of wind. Time for a break and a physical block at home ⛰️😍

Bronce medal at the European Championship 2026 🚀🥉
I'm really grateful for this amazing week of racing here in Akyaka. Racing has never been that tight with the girls and every little detail mattered. I'm proud of my consistent results throughout the week and the improvements we could make. We collected a lot of learnings and will keep pushing. But now it's time to shortly rest at home before the lead up to the first qualifier for LA2028 starts.

Huge congratulations to @gianstragiotti for winning the European title at his 19th birthday - and to @karl_just_karl for an absolute impressive top 10 result - dream big boys 🎉🚀

I couldn't ask for a better team and support - thank you a lot @jonniehutchcroft & @jonaslengwiler.
As well it would not be possible without all the help of sponsors and supporters:

Back to the beach welcomes. When you forget to turn off the camera after racing and @jonaslengwiler decides this is the best footage of the day 😎🤴🏼

Racing was never that tight - every meter counts 🚀 6 races a day in this hot weather lets you sleep well 🥵

First touchdown on Olympic water 😍 I am happy to win the bronce medal at the OCR world cup and gain some insides of what it takes to perform here. It has been a very interesting and spectacular week here in Long Beach LA. A lot of learnings and work ons are collected and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season 🚀

Many thanks go out to all my supporters!

Bronce medal at the World Championship 2026!
Here it is: the first podium at a big event 💪
Not everything went perfect throughout the week of racing but I could put everything together for the last day and perform when it mattered the most. It means a lot to finally step on a podium, especially after a difficult year where a lot of patience was needed. Happy to keep pushing and be back on a race course soon in July, but first some time at home on Swiss lakes 😍

I'm really grateful for all the support I get, the very promising set up and the trust given in the process. Thank you @jonniehutchcroft @jonaslengwiler

First world cup of the 2026 season done! 😊
After starting the year with strong training in Fuerteventura, I had to withdrawn from the first competition in Palma in March due to a concussion. The weeks off the water felt long but I am super gratefully for the professional medical support and in the end the nevertheless pretty fast recovery.
I am happy to have been able to compete at the French Olympic week last week and slowly increase the pace again. Finishing with a 10th position I could learn a lot and prepare the last tweaks for the World Championship in May.

Many thanks to all my sponsors and partners for their ongoing support and their trust:
