“The first year I competed in the Swiss Masters Athletics, the guys that were 60 – 65 – 70 years old, they were my inspiration. I switched my mind to say: I still compete but I want to be healthy the rest of my life. They are the models.”

“People say; why are you doing it, and I say: “because I can!””

“It’s like skiing around the world with the whole friendship of people and skiers and that’s the fun, exciting thing.”
