Growing up

Grew up in South Tyrol playing football, ice hockey, and ski racing. After secondary school forced me to pick one sport, I chose football – and soon realized it wasn't the right fit.

2019

Found running and endurance sports. Working at a bike rental shop opened up cycling. I explored the South Tyrolean mountains and soon bought my first road bike. Became a certified ski instructor.

2022

Moved to Vienna for my studies. Ran the Wings for Life World Run – 29km. The moment I realized sports equipment engineering wasn't my path.

2023

Finished my degree while earning fitness certifications. Returned home to coach group classes and personal training, and wrote my first training plans for friends, found my passion for coaching.

2024

Ran 43km at the Wings for Life World Run. Raced my first HYROX Open, then improved by 7 minutes in Milan just four months later, qualifying for the World Championships. Enrolled in my Master's in Training & Sport Science.

2025

Raced my first Singles Pro at the HYROX World Championships in Chicago. Took 2nd in Verona to qualify for the 2026 World Championships. Started coaching HYROX group classes and writing programming at Crossfit Arch in Vienna.

2026

Won my age group at Hyrox Pro Vienna. Set a new PB of 1:00:59 at the World Championships in Stockholm. Went self-employed as a personal trainer, and I'm now writing my Master's thesis on muscle oxygenation (NIRS) in strength training.
