"I fire around 15,000 shots a year - under all possible external circumstances. In sunshine and rain, in wind and snow. In training, we provoke distractions: teammates stand behind me and crack silly jokes while I'm aiming. Or the trainer puts a loud music box next to my head." (redbull.com, 10 Feb 2020)
"I don't have a specific role model. Certain athletes are role models in a completely different area. You stand up for the athletes, against doping and for the fairness of sport." (niklashartweg.com)
"You can't hit a target that you can't see." (niklashartweg.com)
