Mona Mitterwallner: Comeback after Sturz-Ready for the Mountain Bike World Cup!

Mona Mitterwallner is preparing for her re-entry into the Mountain Bike World Cup after she had a fall at the Vuelta. The competition in Nove Mesto is an important opportunity for the Marathon World Champion to fight back into the race after her difficult phase. In her Tyrolean homeland, Mitterwallner has prepared intensively for this comeback and spent a lot of time alone on the bike to arrange her thoughts and to prepare for the challenges mentally and physically.

"I feel well prepared for the re -entry and am focused on the race," says Mitterwallner. This positive attitude could also be due to your previous experience. In Brazil, at the opening doubles in April, she had not reached a top position in Cross Country, but the performance of her colleague Tamara Wiedmann, who surprised with a fifth place, shows that the competition is strong.

Mathieu van der Poel returns

Another exciting aspect of the upcoming competition is the return of Mathieu van der Poel in the Mountainbike World Cup after several years. The Belgian cycling professional, who wants to return after a successful spring classic season, plans to get the World Cup title in the mountain bike in September. He will take part in the Tour de France beforehand, which shows that he is well prepared for his return.

The combination of Mitterwallner's comeback and van der Poel's return will certainly make racing dynamics in Nove Mesto exciting. Both athletes show that both physical fitness and mental strength are decisive for success in competitive sports.

meaning of sports psychology

In the application of sports psychology in competitive sports, a “magical triangle” is seen that combines sports science, psychology and sports practice. Long -term cooperation with associations and associations as well as the mutual exchange between research and practice are essential to support athletes in the best possible way and to ensure sustainable development. In this way, as in exemplary projects at VfB Stuttgart, targeted training and training offers can be developed.

Mitterwallner's upcoming race will not only be a test for your physical condition, but also an important stage to regain mental strength and to prove yourself again in international competition. The return to the competition circus is therefore not only a sporting challenge, but also a deeper examination of your own skills and support from sports psychology.
