She’s back: snowboarder Cheyenne Loch has announced her return to the World Cup and wants to attack again. Her teammate Ramona Hofmeister is looking forward to the comeback of the woman from Schliersee.
More than ten years ago, the two-time junior world champion Cheyenne Loch was a celebrated talent among the raceboarders of Snowboard Germany. The woman from Schliersee was also able to carve onto the podium among the pros in the World Cup.
But a year and a half ago she had to unbuckle the board and end her career plagued by injury – now the 28-year-old is back. “It’s really nice to be back. It feels like I wasn’t gone at all,” said Loch in the BR24 Sport interview.
Overall World Cup winner Ramona Hofmeister is happy that Loch is back: “She is such a cheerful person and an incredibly likeable person.”
So far she has not been able to win
Two cruciate ligament ruptures, ankle surgery – the pain often drove with it and yet Loch kept racing onto the podium, but never to victory. “The theme of winning has always been a big one for me and you wonder why: If it’s enough for second place, it should actually be enough for first place in terms of skills.” Loch has worked on himself mentally, is pain-free and has one goal: the World Cup in Georgia.
