    Olympiasiegerin Michelle Gisin: «Was mache ich eigentlich da?» 16.11.2018 ‑ 00:00, Bruno Bötschi Michelle Gisin über ihre Leidenschaft: «Ich fahre nicht Skirennen, weil ich möglichst viel Geld verdienen will. Ich fahre Ski, weil mich das glücklich macht. Weil ich den Skisport extrem liebe.» Bild: Keystone Olympiasiegerin Michelle Gisin erzählt im Interview von ihrem Umgang mit der Angst während eines Abfahrtsrennens. Sie sagt überdies, warum ihr der Umweltschutz am Herz liegt – und klärt über ihren Lieblingsmann auf. Eigentlich hätte Michelle Gisin an diesem Nachmittag im Engadin trainieren sollen. Aber das Wetter machte dem Schweizer Skiteam einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Stattdessen sitzt die Kombinations‑ Olympiasiegerin jetzt mit dem «Bluewin»‑Journalisten in einer Beiz in ihrem Heimatort Engelberg. Gisin hat ein verrückt erfolgreiches Jahr hinter sich: Vier Jahre nach ihrer Schwester Dominique gewann auch sie an Olympischen Spielen eine Goldmedaille. Wer mit Michelle Gisin dieser Tage spricht, spürt, dass es noch etwas Zeit braucht, bis sie ihren Olympiasieg richtig einordnen kann. Es ist aber auch zu spüren: Diese Frau ist bereit für mehr. Viel mehr. Wenn nicht schon in diesem Winter, so will sie spätestens im nächsten um den Gesamtweltcup ein Wörtchen mitreden. Und das mit dem Reden ist durchaus wortwörtlich gemeint: Die 24‑jährige Sportlerin redet gern. Es sprudelt geradezu aus ihr heraus. Frau Gisin, wir machen heute ein Frage‑Antwort‑Spiel: Ich stelle Ihnen in der nächsten 30 Minuten möglichst viele Fragen – und Sie antworten möglichst schnell und spontan. Passt Ihnen eine Frage nicht, sagen Sie einfach «weiter». Das schaffen wir. Hunde oder Katze? Katze. Definitiv. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob die Hunde mehr Angst vor mir haben oder ich vor ihnen.
