Where
do you
live?
Weinfelden
Switzerland based 7 months per year, Timaru New
Zealand 3 Months,usually 2 months coacing developing
countries each year, probably Iran, Hong Kong,China,
Taiwan & Singaore this year.
-
Nowadays you are the trainner of switzerland
selection, what do you think about their progress in
the european level?
Dissappointing one skater Livio Wenger has taken
advantage of 50 % of the Worlds best skaters based
near Winfelden & for the past two years has trained
with them, when other sponsors & clubs have banned
their skaters from attending specific Wednesdat
speed nights for training & racing.
-
In
the last european championship of Denmark, Livio
Wenger got a great competitions, do you thing he
will be chosen for the world championship?
Of
course he is Switzerlands great white Hope & top of
the list of my recommendations for Worlds.
-
Do
you thing that Livio is a good election to sum
medals for Swiss?
Yes
I do & 2009 definately.
-
In
the World Inline Cup, there where an important
fall
in a great slope, do you think that the organization
thought about this?
The fall was on the flat
& well after the slope & caused by a not so
experienced WIC team & a skater comming back from
unsuccessfully chasing a breakaway & clipping skates
with a teamate, very unfortunate, but nothing to do
with the slope of the hill.
-
What
do you thing about the WIC in the season 2008?
Its
been the toughest ever, 30 new South American top
skaters comming in for the first time, a top 20
placing this year would have been equivilent to a
top 10 in other years.
-
The
Bont Wheels Team is the best one of this moment.
Will Cecilia Baena be able to get the champion
tittle?
Cecilia can not be beaten, she already has an 85
points in reserve at present.
