National downhill team gets a female coach for the first time

About two months ago, Swiss Cycling announced the resignation of Lars Peyer as national downhill coach. Today, the Swiss Cycling Federation is presenting his successor: Alice Kühne is the first woman to take over as national coach. Kühne has extensive expertise in downhill sport and wants to take the young team significantly further in the coming years.

Alice Kühne is taking over from Lars Peyer, who announced his resignation as Swiss national coach in the fall after almost five years in office. The 35-year-old sports therapist and psychologist has been a member of the Downhill Expert Commission since 2014. She is currently training to become a qualified professional coach. As a former World Cup rider, Elite World Championship participant and two-time World Champion in the Masters category, Kühne has the necessary expertise and is looking forward to a new challenge. Together with the young national team, she is ready to "break boundaries", as she puts it.
