I had a great night yesterday during a big award show in my hometown Winterthur, the 6th biggest city in Switzerland. For the first time ever, they elected a ‘sportsman/woman of the year’.
I was already excited to hear that I was one of three pre-selected candidates. The final votes came from around 200 other medal winning athletes, their families/friends and other special invites that where present that night.
And I WON!
To say that I’m stoked would be an understatment. It’s a good feeling to have my best ever Fourcross Season (2011) recognized like that. And it certainly boosts my motivation for the final preparation. Let’s make 2012 my best ever BMX season!
Thanks a lot to everyone that made this possible!
