Did your 2015 season go as you planned it at the beginning of the year?
Simone Tetsche Christensen: It actually went better than expected! My plan was to do better at the World Cup series though, but at least I finished it good! But never expected to take the medals I did, and be that consistent at the European Rounds as I attended at!
What was your most rewarding result (personally) in 2015?
Simone Tetsche Christensen: I have 2 that is hard to put up against each other! First the Gold medal at Baku, which was a massive event and being with other Danes and celebrating the Danish medals together was big! But I must say that getting bronze at the World Championship was very rewarding as well,

Did your 2015 season go as you planned it at the beginning of the year?
Martijn Jaspers: Not really. The change of team and all work with that cost a lot of energy. The season started okay with some 1/4 finals in World Cups and the Worlds. After that a crash in Argentina ended my season with a dislocated and damaged shoulder.
What was your most rewarding result (personally) in 2015?
Martijn Jaspers: At Worlds I was at my best, some small mistakes didn't give me the result I wanted. Winning the 3 Nations cup C1 felt good personally. Though it was not the heaviest field, it was good to win which I don't do often.
