Vivian Hosch

Nordic Skiing

Germany’s Vivian Hoesch is relishing the chance to compete on home snow in 2017 when the World Para Nordic Skiing Championships come to Finsterau.

Last season she reached the World Cup top three for the first time, following on from a successful World Championships in 2015 where she won her first medal.

Alongside guide Florian Schillinger, Hoesch has really come of age since making her international debut in the 2009-10 season.

In the early stages of her career she was named Sportswoman of the Year in Baden and Freiburg in 2008 and 2011 respectively.

Her idol is German tennis player Boris Becker and away from the trails, Hoesch enjoys playing piano, travelling and listening to music.
