Joachim Puchner about his sister Mirjam’s silver ride: “Brewed”

… the unfortunate history:

“You have to imagine that. When the World Cup was awarded here, you know, from age and everything all around: I can be there. And then you vote so much that it fits exactly that day. You have a perfect preparation, then the season starts and then everything actually goes in the completely wrong direction. ”Suddenly the topic was no longer how to drive a successful World Cup so near your home, but how best to get yourself qualified. “Suddenly we have to be happy that she is there at all,” says the brother, who supports her in terms of sport and “also demands a lot from her”.

… that has been high since arrival in Saalbach

“Then it tilts down there, during the first training she felt super comfortable, in the qualification she presents with eight tenths. Suddenly it looks good again. ”

… the sudden pressure

“Suddenly everyone says ‘the race is yours’ and ‘you get the medal’ … that’s incredibly difficult! You are at home. So many people have come. I have the greatest respect that she put it down so hard and also get a medal. I have noticed in the past few days that she is simply looking forward to the race. In the past, she has often proven that she is very mentally very good and stable and she has accessed that incredibly today. Perhaps it all fit so that she was not the top favorite, not so much on focus on her. ”

… the sister’s journey

“She had a small mistake up there. Exactly in the passage, where she actually gets the time out. I thought it doesn’t exist! Then she finished number 9, 15 hundredths of it. The Breezy Johnson is a good time compared to the training and I was just hoping, hopefully he didn’t cost the medal. ”

… the necessary happiness

“It always has to fit together so much, as happiness plays, the shape curve has to rise exactly, it is simply a daily constitution and that’s why you have to be so grateful that this can happen exactly that day and happiness and luck, that’s there, that’s there So close together and today the luck was certainly on our side. ”

… the family’s celebrations

“Our parents are there and the fan club and many supporters. What do you want more beautiful than at home a medal in such a weather? Everything just fits perfectly. We’ll celebrate that. When, if not now? ”

… about your special sibling ratio

“When she comes home from the race and everything went into her pants, I sit with her when tears flow. But if you can experience something like today, that’s easy! I haven’t given her much more in the past few days. What does it bring to cut every curve? I just said you have a good feeling. Go to the start, try everything so that you can go out at the finish and do not blame anything. ”
