‘I need to get fit for the X-Alps’ – Chrigel Maurer interview

18 January, 2015

What’s it like to fly against your brother? What’s it like to race in a Paragliding World Championships with him on the same team? “He’s eight years younger than me,” says Chrigel Maurer, “We didn’t really do things together until he started flying.”

Chrigel talks about his brother, his family and his road to recovery and full fitness after breaking a bone in his foot last year. “I’ve not done any sport for four months,” he says, “I need to do a lot to get back to full power.”
