Sara Schleper: Exclusive Interview

Questions by Patrick Lang:
Tell us about your day. Second place, that's a dream for you.

Sara Schleper:
Very much so— I was crying on the podium a little, just feeling all this good energy. It was awesome.

Patrick Lang:
You fought hard for this.

Sara Schleper:
Yes, a lot of years.

Patrick Lang:
And today, on this most difficult slope, you just were able to deliver it totally.

Sara Schleper:
Yes, I just didn't hold back. I took a risk. I'm good enough to be here, and I'm very happy.

Patrick Lang:
I mean, what does it mean to you?

Sara Schleper:
It's my dream; I'm getting closer. My dream is gold medals, so I'll be there.

Patrick Lang:
You have been now on the tour for two or three years. Why have you improved so much in the last months?

Sara Schleper:
A lot of training for technique, and it's up here too, in the mind. It's knowing I can be the best.

Patrick Lang:
And from now on you go for the win?

Sara Schleper:
Yes, I go as fast as I can.

Patrick Lang:
Good. Thank you so much.
