Sports have always been an important part of my life and I have spent much freetime on doing sports. In 2017 I took part in an excursion ("Across the alps with a racing bicycle") during my studies and thus found my passion for racing cycling. Since it is a very time-consuming sport, racing cycling requires much effort spent on time management. However, my studies at the WWU are not less important for me which is why I am very thankful for the top- level sport support which enables me to balance my studies as well as my training and racings. Additionally, the free access to the sport facilities is helpful for organising my workout plans. By postponing exam dates and doing my internship here in Münster, I can go on and concentrate on the top- level sport without neglecting my studies. Thank you very much for the support!
