He claims the KiteFoil World Series Austria title on Sept 8, a month after winning Olympic bronze in Paris.
SINGAPORE – A new four-year Olympic cycle begins with new equipment for Singapore kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder, yet some things remain the same.
Throughout the five-day competition, Maximilian won 11 out of 12 races in the opening series. Needing just one win in the medal series, he clinched it on his first try for his fifth victory in six events in 2024. “I had great help from Daniel , and I simply raced and did what I could. This time, it worked out great.”
“The things I learnt from Paris are details that are very fine and subtle. It’s not about technique, speed or tactics. It’s the mental aspect, the strategic approach and the meta decision-making that’s being put to question.” Maximilian said: “Having the opportunity to be part of the development and give your input is great fun. It means whatever comes out is somewhat to your preference and it fixes certain issues you have.
