Lives in Styria
New home pays off for Purker
Nordic combined athlete Claudia Purker has moved to her coach's home town in order to be able to train better. So far, the move from Altenmarkt to Styria has proved successful.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The Nordic combined athletes had a break of almost a whole month. After the home World Cup in Ramsau, they continue today in Schonach (D). In the men's event, the brother duo Stefan and Thomas Rettenegger from Salzburg will be at the start, while Claudia Purker will be competing in the women's event.
The Altenmark native has four good results so far (13th, 15th, 14th, 22nd): "I'm actually very satisfied, but there's still potential everywhere - in both parts of the competition. But there's still a bit of time until the World Championships." These will take place this February in Trondheim, Norway. The focus is on this major event, and she is very motivated: "A World Cup in Norway is always something special. The fans there are very fanatical."
For better training, she has moved to a second home in Styria. The reason for this is her coach Willi Denifl, who also lives in Weißkirchen. "I was hoping for greater benefits in terms of training - and it has worked well so far. Being close to the coach and training together is important," says the Pongau native with satisfaction. Nevertheless, she often returns to her home town: "There is more snow in Altenmarkt in winter. It's an advantage for me that I can train in both places."
