Overall, it felt as if you were swimming in the washing machine at 40 degrees. The conditions were very, very violent. The times were postponed by the competition days. We only found out in the middle of the night when we will start tomorrow whether we can start. It was all a bit chaotic. But that is somewhere open water swimming, that is somewhere and you have to cope with that. How big is the satisfaction according to the experiences of Paris, where you cannot fulfill all dreams? To be at the top now and be able to be world champions on this route for the third time? Yes, I say that if you drive home with a medal, it is the most fun.
