Celine Lorenz hasn't added a story.
-English version below-
Hi,
ich bin Celine, 24 Jahre alt und fliege Gleitschirm, seitdem ich
16 bin.
Die Begeisterung für das Fliegen weckte ein Tandemflug,
den ich zum 11. Geburtstag von meiner Mutter geschenkt bekommen habe.
Nach dem Abitur und während meiner Ausbildung zur Zuckerbäckerin bin
ich in den Genuss gekommen in Frankreich, Schweden, Dänemark,
Australien, Thailand, Kolumbien und natürlich ganz viel daheim in den
Alpen, zu fliegen. 2018 habe ich dann meine Tandempilotenausbildung
abgeschlossen und meine Leidenschaft zum Beruf gemacht.
Gleitschirmfliegen nimmt einen sehr großen Teil meines Lebens ein, da
es so wunderbar facettenreich ist. Egal ob Hike & Fly,
Streckenfliegen, Akrobatisches Fliegen oder Wettkampffliegen, jede
Disziplin mache ich unglaublich gerne!
Mich begeistert der
sportliche Grundgedanke sich mit anderen zu messen. Mein aktueller
Fokus liegt auf Hike & Fly und Streckenfliegen. In den letzten
Jahren habe ich an vielen Wettbewerben teilgenommen, wobei mein
größter Erfolg der Hike & Fly Wettkampf Dolomiti Super Fly 2022
war. Die Aufgabe bei dem Wettkampf: Die Dolomiten in sechs Tagen nur
zu Fuß und mit dem Gleitschirm über verschiedene Wendepunkte zu
durchqueren. Als erste Frau in der Geschichte der Dolomiti Super Fly
Rennen bin ich ins Ziel gekommen.
2023 steht nun ein ganz
besonderer Wettkampf an, die Red Bull X-Alps. Dieser wird seit 2003 im
zweijährigen Rhythmus ausgetragen. Es ist das härteste Hike & Fly
Rennen weltweit. In den nahezu zwei Wochen wird eine Strecke von über
1000 km quer durch die Alpen zurückgelegt. Dabei leisten die 35
Athleten bis zu 150 geschaffte Kilometer am Tag, wobei sie Wendepunkte
in verschiedenen Bergregionen passieren.
Unterstützt werde ich
von meinem Supportteam, welches mir bei taktischen Entscheidungen
hilft und die Logistik für Essen, Unterkunft und Ausrüstung
übernimmt.
Um erfolgreich zu sein, ist das Zusammenspiel im Team,
taktische Entscheidungen, Ausdauer und mentale Stärke sehr
wichtig.
Mit der Teilnahme ist einer meiner größten Träume wahr
geworden.
Der Wettbewerb ist mit einem erheblichen Kostenaufwand verbunden, den
die Athleten selbst stemmen müssen. Es geht dabei um Camper,
Treibstoff, Ausrüstung, Lebensmittel, Unterkünfte und mehr für mein
Team und mich.
Und auch für die Vorbereitung brauche ich Zeit.
Das Training startet schon jetzt, wobei der Wettkampf erst im Juni
2023 beginnt.
Genau dabei kannst DU mir helfen! Mit jeder
Spende komm ich meinem Traum Stück für Stück näher und bin über jede
Hilfe unglaublich dankbar!

Vorbereitungen live verfolgen.

Hi,
I'm Celine, 24 years old and I've been paragliding since I was 16.
A tandem flight my mother gave me for my 11th birthday sparked my enthusiasm for flying. After graduating from high school and during my training as a confectioner, I had the pleasure of flying in France, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, Thailand, Colombia and of course a lot at home in the Alps. In 2018 I completed my tandem pilot training and turned my passion into my job.
Paragliding takes up a very large part of my life because it is so wonderfully diverse. Whether it's Hike & Fly, cross-country flying, acrobatic flying or competition flying, I really enjoy doing every discipline!
I am enthusiastic about the idea of measuring yourself against others. My current focus is on Hike & Fly and XC flying. In recent years I have participated in a lot of competitions, my greatest success being the Hike & Fly race Dolomiti Super Fly 2022. The task in this competition: crossing the Dolomites in six days only on foot and with a paraglider checking various turnpoints on the way. I was the first woman in the history of the Dolomiti Super Fly to finish the race.
A very special competition is coming up in 2023, the Red Bull X-Alps. The race was founded in 2003 and has taken place every two years since then. It's the toughest Hike & Fly race in the world. In almost 2 weeks, a distance of over 1000km is covered through the Alps. The 35 athletes cover up to 150km a day, passing turnpoints in different mountain regions.
I am supported by my team, who help me with tactical decisions and take care of the logistics for food, accommodation and equipment. In order to be successful, teamwork, tactical decisions, perseverance and mental strength are very important.
With the participation one of my biggest dreams came true.
The race is associated with considerable costs, which the
athletes have to bear themselves. They consist of: a caravan, fuel,
equipment, food, accommodation and more for my team and me.
I also need time for preparation. The training has already started, but the competition will not begin until June 2023.
That's exactly what YOU can help me with! With every donation, I'm getting closer to my dream bit by bit and I'm incredibly grateful for your help!
