Sponsors

Becoming an elite athlete involves more than training, it requires the proper recovery, nutrition, and environment. The Hotel Schneeberg in Ridnaun, Italy has just that and everything else an athlete, or anyone who wants a perfect vacation could ever want.

I always enjoyed good food and high quality wines. This is why I am proud to have Feinkost Hauffe as a sponsor. Feinkost Hauffe is a fine food store in the historical center of Weimar, Germany. You can find a great variety of fine wines, gourmet products and gift ideas. For those that unfortunately can’t make it to Weimar there is always the possibility to order online. www.feinkost-hauffe.de

The first time I skied on Rossignol skis was in 1993 when I borrowed a pair to race on at the Junior National Championships, and I ended up winning the race. Since that time I have always used Rossignol skis and boots. For me, the best thing about Rossignol skis and boots is that they are not designed just to be fast, but also to make the skier ski faster.

Clothing has an influence on athletic performance, and just by wearing Adidas clothing it is clear they understand that very well. Since I have to train and compete in every weather condition that comes, I am always thankful that Adidas has put so much energy into ensuring that the clothing I wear is optimal for comfort and performance.

Since every shot is important in biathlon, and can be the difference between winning a medal, or not, I have to have ammunition which I know is accurate. Therefore, I have done a lot of testing, and Lapua ammunition has consistently been the best.
