Maximilian, your first FIS season was marked by highs and lows. How would you sum it up personally?

After good training in the summer and autumn, I was looking forward to my first FIS season. Despite a few setbacks, it was an instructive year for me. I had knee problems in November and couldn't start training until mid-December. I had my first race on 11 December. I was looking forward to every race and was highly motivated at the start. At the end of January, I broke my thumb during SG training. But I fought my way through, started every race with motivation and gave my best.

Were there any moments you are particularly proud of?

I was able to score quite well in all disciplines. I am particularly proud of my performance in the downhill. I really enjoyed this discipline and was able to gain my first experience in it this year.

How do you feel about the coming months?

Summer training has already begun and I am preparing for my second FIS season, which I am already very much looking forward to. I want to improve my skiing skills and my FIS points. My focus is clearly on further development.

May I ask you for one last motivational sentence for the next season?

I am already looking forward to next winter and will work hard to continue climbing the rankings.
