3 questions for Laura
How did you get into cross-country skiing?
My parents put me in ski club training when I was 5 years old. It was my passion from day one and I never wanted to miss a training session. I dreamed of becoming a professional athlete from an early age. When I was a teenager, I had my first, much longed-for successes and my ambition was awakened.
What motivates you?
What motivates me most in competitive sport is the desire to keep pushing my own limits and get the best out of myself. The path to success, coupled with the challenge of constantly improving, is what drives me.
What makes a house or flat a home for you?
For me, a home is characterised by a warm atmosphere and lovingly selected details. High-quality materials contribute to the feel-good factor and create a place where you enjoy spending time.
