PRODYNA sponsors visually impaired para-athlete Linn Kazmaier
June 1, 2022

PRODYNA has been supporting goal-oriented athletes in achieving their athletic goals for many years.

To be successful, you need exceptional skills, but also team spirit, performance orientation and common goals. These are also key factors and the main focus of PRODYNA and its employees.

Since June 2022, PRODYNA has been supporting the visually impaired para-athlete Linn Kazmaier from Oberlenningen. Oberlenningen is a tranquil town in Baden-Württemberg, about 40 kilometers southeast of Stuttgart. The 15-year-old schoolgirl has already celebrated many great successes in her Para-Ski Nordic career. At the Para-Ski Nordic World Championships in January 2022 in Lillehammer, Norway, she finished as the best German twice in 6th place and twice in 9th place. She took part in the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Beijing and – surprisingly for her age – stood on the podium five times (1x gold, 3x silver and 1x bronze).

By winning the silver medal in the Para-Biathlon over 6 kilometers, she is the youngest German medal winner at Winter Games. Due to her visual impairment, she is supported by Florian Baumann as an escort runner. Florian won several medals at German Youth and Junior Championships and ended his active career in June 2020. In autumn 2020, the Swabian duo started their cooperation.

In terms of sports, Linn and Florian want to continue to take off: the World Cup starts at the beginning of December and in 2026 they want to attack again at the Paralympic Games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Linn also competes in para-athletics in the middle distance. Here she wants to qualify for the Summer World Championships 2023 in Paris in the 1500m race. To then be able to compete at the Summer Paralympic Games 2024, also in Paris.Follow the "Parateam" on Instagram to participate in the daily training routine and to be informed about the latest news. We look forward to supporting Linn and Florian in their athletic goals and upcoming successes and wish them all the best and much success!
