The atmosphere at Trondheim should be amazing and I'm looking forward to racing there as part of a team that is really taking big steps up and getting stronger by the day. The young athletes are motivating to be around and they keep me young at heart.

My shape has been reasonably good in the lead-up to these championships with my focus being on the skate sprint and 50k skate.

Could not think of a better destination to be representing Australia and competing in my first World Championship then in Trondheim. Norway holds a special place in my heart and is known as the home of skiing, so it’s the atmosphere I’m looking forward to most.

World champs debut! I’ve been super excited for this for years. Skiing at the World Championships is a huge childhood dream, and to be able to compete now is mind-boggling. 

My shape is feeling pretty solid right now so I’m very keen to give it a good crack.
