See all sponsors

Mit der BLKB ins Ziel

Ich bin stolz, verkünden zu dürfen, dass die Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank mich ab sofort als neuen Sponsor in meiner sportlichen Karriere begleitet und ich wiederum als Markenbotschafter für die BLKB auftrete. Mit diesem wichtigen Support fokussiere ich mich bereits auf kommende Ziele wie beispielsweise die Teilnahme an der Olympiade 2028, welche in Los Angeles stattfinden wird.

The magical 5 metres

The Götzis Meeting 2024 is over. As always there was a lot of excitement for this event, unfortunately, I wasn't able to deliver all my top performances this weekend. Still, I was super happy because I passed the magic mark of 5 metres in the pole vault for the first time. Another strong improvement, and now it’s back to training with the focus on the Olympic Games in Paris.

Sunny Santa Barbara

In January, I was invited to train with Damian Warner in sunny Santa Barbara, California. Is was a great and inspiring experience, with many hours of sunshine. Warner won gold in the decathlon at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Interested in the details of my training sessions? Then follow me on Instagram or LinkedIn.

8022 POINTS!

At this year's meeting in Götzis, I finally exceeded the magical limit of 8000 points. I have to admit that not everything went smoothly during the competition, but the result was incredibly satisfying. It makes me enthusiastic about the rest of the season.
