Cross-country skiing : a disappointing twentieth place for Germany’s Friedrich Moch
On Friday, Germany’s Friedrich Moch left the Tuffes stadium, where he finished twentieth in the 10km individual skate race , “a little disappointed”.
Yes, today was a difficult race for me,” he explained. I’d imagined things a little differently. But yes, I think that’s part of the game, that not everything can always go right.
If his morale is affected, it’s because this World Cup stage in Les Rousses was looking good. ” During the warm-up, I felt pretty good,” recalls Friedrich Moch. At the very start of the competition, the same impression. “But then it quickly became more difficult. I didn’t feel very good.

The skier from Baden-Württemberg was betrayed by his body. He wasn’t right in the head either. ” I still tried to make the most of the situation,” he says. Given his result, he has to some extent limited the damage.
Friedrich Moch is happy to be well rested tomorrow and “to be able to get back into the fight on Sunday” for the classic mass-start. ” And maybe I’ll be able to turn my anger into positive energy,” he hopes.
