Lets read through Gesa Felicitas Krause’s spectacular journey in her exclusive interview with Namita Nayyar, President Women Fitness.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You created a huge blast when you won the bronze medal at the 2015 World Championships and the gold medal at the 2016 European Championships. Walk us through your spectacular journey and tell us how it all began?
Ms. Gesa Felicitas Krause:
I started Track and Field back in year 2000 when I was 8 years old. Distance running has always been my favorite part, but I tried almost every event of track and field at the age of 8 till 15. With my 16th birthday I moved to Frankfurt, visited a boarding school and started the work with my current coach. During the past 9 years he taught me what it means to be a professional athlete and helped me to get the best version of myself. Since moving to Frankfurt I totally focused on running and the steeplechase. After graduating from high school (2011) I decided to take a year off from school and focused on qualifying for the Olympic Games in London. That was my biggest dream so far and a huge step in my running career.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What inspired you to take up this sport?
Ms. Gesa Felicitas Krause:
First I just love track and field and enjoyed doing the sport and spending time with my team. But during all these years my hobby turned to be my job. By moving to Frankfurt to visit a sport school I decided to give this sport more credit. I never stopped believing in myself and that hard work pays off.
