Biography
His meeting with Patrick Rastner was special. In 2007, he had the opportunity to compete in the World Junior Championships in America if he shifted from the individual event to the doubles event, and it was Patrick the one he chose as his partner from the three athletes suggested by Hansjörg Raffl. And Patrick did the same. Ten years later, despite a mix of difficult times and good times - at the youth level, as well as amongst the ‘grown ups’, they achieved two podium finishes at the World Cup, with the most recent in Sigulda in 2017 - he describes their partnership as “the perfect double in every way.” They have a weighty legacy on their shoulders, but since he had an operation on his eyes, he has regained his self-confidence and is ready to hurtle down the Korean track. His sights are set on his second Olympic adventure.
