Vielen Dank, Verena Huber
Zum Jahresende wird Verena Huber ihre Leistungssport Karriere auf dem Mountainbike vorläufig beenden. Gesundheitliche Beschwerden, die sie die ganze Saison 2019 hindurch geplagt und begleitet haben, “zwingen” die junge Sportlerin aus Offenburg zu dieser – nicht einfachen – Entscheidung.
Nur einen Rennauftritt konnte sie während der Saison 2019 geben. Beim UCI World Marathon Rennen in Singen ließ Verena ihre Klasse, mit Platz sechs im international stark besetzten Rennen, aufblitzen.
Danach traten wieder die Knieprobleme, die sie schon in 2018 beschäftigt hatten, in den Vordergrund und setzten sie außer Gefecht. Zahlreiche Behandlungen und Therapieversuche zogen sich über das Jahr hindurch – Physio und Reha statt Leistungstraining lautete die Devise.
Da für Verena – und auch für uns als Team – die Gesundheit absolut im Vordergrund steht,, belibt zum Jahresende für Verena leider nur die Entscheidung vorerst den MTB-Rennsport hinten an zu stellen und alle Kraft und Energie in ihre Gesundwerdung zu stecken.
“Aktuell hat für mich meine Gesundheit oberste Priorität. Ich will wieder schmerzfrei werden, damit ich in vollem Umfang Spaß am Biken haben kann”, so die junge Sportlerin.
Wir, das gesamte Team CENTURION VAUDE – vor und hinter den Kulissen -, respektieren Verenas Entscheidung aufs Vollste und wünschen Ihr von ganzem Herzen alles erdenklich Gute und eine gute Rehabilitation im Jahr 2020!

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The Story
The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
