The result was for the 25-Year-old, for once, is secondary. “It went a lot better today. I’ve been trying for Marc, the Positive of this route, to take, to force some kind of reconciliation,” she told SRF.

Finally, many of the competitor were already for many years in the speed range on the road. “Here it was for me, but very difficult.” You don’t have felt on Monday in the first two Trainings, “even so, as I otherwise feel on the track”.
