World Cup races are nearly recreational

On Tuesday, she has made the trip. Selina Gasparin said goodbye to her husband, Ilya Tschernousssow, of the two daughters, the Nanny and the parents. Led the way to the airport and further into the Swedish Ostersund, where today the world Cup begins. The Olympic silver medalist of 2014 chose for the arrival of the latest possible point in time – and an individual solution. The rest of the Swiss have been training for ten days in the far North.

The special position of reasons. The most successful Swiss biathlete has as a mother of two children 13 months and four years and a half a result of a different priority. The disadvantage of the short adaptation to snow, climate, and location of the Engadinerin countered with the Argument that arrival from the height, to the outstanding training conditions of recent weeks as well as significantly more a light hours. In Östersund it goes for you anyway, is to find your competition feeling: "the Great expectations I have."

in the Afternoon, empty batteries

This is done in front of a new Background. The back after the second baby break the 35 has come-Year-old as a "much more demanding than the first" experienced. Generally, she speaks of "a profit and the happiness of a Mother". And makes the experience: "The Regeneration is not too short, every day is a tightrope walk."

So the Morning is for the hard workouts, the only viable option. "In the afternoon, the batteries are empty," says the from Grisons. And always, the Central question is: How will she get the energy back to the required Level? Emotionally, every night is "too short", after you Wake Up, you feel often, as if it had been from a truck to roll over.

In all of the Gasparin is aware of team mates, including her sisters Elisa and Aita, can move only partially into it. "You live your sports life, I my," says the oldest of the three Gasparins. The Team is characterized by mutual respect and the will to benefit as possible from each other.

Eight months without Competition, are long.

Amazingly, the benefits of Selina to stay. After the birth of their second child in October 2018, she returned in February of convincing to return: rank 9 in the world championship in Sweden, her best world Cup result ever. On this experience you don't want to build but very. "Eight months without Competition are long," she says. And in the back of the head, that a Lyme disease infection as well as a three-week illness break in September were the form of structure is hardly conducive.

All of this sounds easy to prepare for the season. However, at the claim, with the world's best to compete and to run for places on the podium, it changes nothing. "Maybe it'll work are not the same," says Gasparin though. However, in comparison to your training days, the world Cup effect-the race is almost like recovery.
