As soon as I put on the silver helmet, there is a switch within me, and that’s when I get into competition mode, as the Silver Bullet. It's unbelievable that this is already my sixth Paralympic Games. It is difficult to pick out a single moment from all the Paralympics. Certainly the first medal in Athens my first Paralympics, and of course, my first gold medal. Those were very special I think I have certainly been lucky, that I have been successful, for as long as I have given the physical requirements. I've always been healthy and that I have remained fit and focused. 2023 was a very good year for me. I was very successful in my events. I won virtually everything, I won a number of golds at the world championships, alongside the big marathon races, it was a really super, super year. It went very well. There is a certain amount of pressure now, due to my successes over the last few years, the last 12 months in particular, and from Tokyo, as well. Fortunately as well, I already have experience dealing with pressure. I don't necessarily have to prove myself anymore. But in the end I am still ambitious and when I am here at the Paralympics, I always want to give my best to raise my performance and hopefully win a medal.
