Katharina Hennig finally breaks through đź‘Ź #shorts
Your first World Cup victory, how was the 15K for you?
Yeah, I think it was a very tough race and my body felt like expected after the last day and the four runs I had, but I'm so happy to have my first victory here in Valdivia. These are one of my favorite tracks in the World Cup, and especially I had a lot of family and my boyfriend at the track, and that was very motivating.
It's actually the first victory for a German lady since 2009. What do you think this means for the German people?
Yeah, I think a lot. I know that there are a lot of people who cheered at the television, and I think they are very happy, especially the little cross-country skiers are very motivated.
Congratulations so much, Katrina.
Thanks.

This year was filled with incredible moments, and one of the most emotional was seeing Katharina Hennig. At 25, she comes from Saxony, Germany, and has a deep passion for cross-country skiing, a sport ingrained in her family history. Her parents were cross-country skiers, and this love for the sport has been a part of her life since childhood. Despite the focus on skiing, family and friends hold an even more important place in her life. Attending a boarding school solidified her commitment to the sport, knowing it requires strength and dedication to compete with the world's best. As the youngest member of the German ski team, she received great support, and now, as a leader of a younger team, she is proud of their growth. Training in nature with her team and testing her limits has been an integral part of her life.
