Rider`s Profile

Rollerblade I.B.U. Speedodrom

Name: Hartz

First name: Christian Date of birth : 19:10-85

Middle Name : Timm Kejser Nick name : “Kejser”

Hometown : Copenhagen Club: IFK Inlinere Naestved

Height : 179 Weight : 69

Sentimental Situation : Single

Coach: Elisabeth Schrenk, Alfred Kaiblinger

Profession: Studying for Bachelor in Physiotherpie

Sisters: Twinbrother Peter Timm Kejser Hartz (Stadler Racing Team International), Littlebrother Jakob Timm Kejser Hartz. Both on the danish national team.

Languages: Danish, English and German

Other sports: Biking, running strengths.

How do you feel about joining the Rollerblade I.B.U. Speedodrom? What are your expectations ? I expect a lot from the year 2008. With a professional staff, a super team and a perfect sponsor, I expect it to be an educational year for me. It’s my first year in the World Cup, and I can learn a lot more. After the GBC last year I wanted to step up. Together with to very experienced skaters as Mathieu and Thomas I can learn a lot. Together with those and some young coming stars like Gapi and Niki, I hope to get some top results with the team.

How long have you been skating ? I started inline skating in January 2001, so only 7 years.

What do you prefer in your sport? The smoothness, the speed and then intensity. And then I like that it’s an individual sport as well as a team sport. So there are so many points of views into the sport. I like the feeling of crossing the finish line with high speed and crossing with a dive. I like the way you feel when you are cruising at high speed and just relaxing following.

What gave you the desire to begin skating ? I played football on high level as a kid, together with my twin brother, until I was 16 years old. Then I stopped because of political reasons. Actually it was my parents who started first skating, they where doing a weird triathlon with running, biking and skating. And since I stopped playing football, my twin brother and I just wanted to try something new and funny – since that day we where caught.

The summary of your 2007 skating season ? The season 2007 started really bad for me since I was injured for 8 weeks. I was causing that I could not perform any training but strengths for the upper body. After bad crashes in Gross Gerau and in Gera at the international competitions I was starting to get scared that I would be a hard season mentally. But with good support of my national coach I reach my level again and together with my team Subaru-Bont I got some good results with winning 4 of the big races in the German-blade-challenge. In the end of the season I was overall winner of the competition which the year before I could not even imagine I would have a chance. Additional to that I got a good Euro’s, even though I was not fully fit after a hard recovery period. My best and the best Danish male senior result ever was a 5^th place in the Elimination/Points race. For that I got the big motivation. In the end of the season I was doing two WIC races in Mainz and in Berlin. With some good performance and hard work I managed to get my best results ever in a WIC race, with a 21^st in Berlin and a 18^th in Mainz. Overall my best season ever. Unfortunately the Danish government did not allow us to come for the World Championships, but we will be ready for Worlds in Spain.

Your sport goals for the coming years ? My big goal is to establish my self good and the team in the World Cup. I want to do a good performance for the team – and get some top results. If possible and enable with team goal, then I want to get a top 10 in a World Inline Cup Race. Additional to that I want to, on the national level, also to get a medal at the European championship.

One line to describe what you feel when you skate ? Control, joy and freedom.

How do you see the evolution of Inline skating in the coming years ? I would really that It will turn into a Olympic sport. In Denmark there are a lot going on, we are working hard for it. Sport colleges and Sport educational places are made with Team Denmark (and the Danish Olympic Comitee) and we are close getting into that system with our sport. That would open some doors. The media are more interested in our sport and some good sponsors are coming through. So I cross my fingers.

Your favorite sportsman or woman ? Arne Nielson (Olympic Gold winner and World Champion in Cano) and Eskild Eppesen 2 times gold winner at the Olympics (Rowing).

Your best memory? 5^th place at the European championships – I always dreamed of getting in a final of an elimination race.

Favorite food? Pasta, chicken and vegetables. I love the mix.

Favorite music? Almost everything that makes me happy.

Last CD you bought? A Mental training / Visualisation

What kind of car do you have? Cars are too expensive in Denmark. And I prefer to do my transportation on skates or with my bike.

The car of your dream? Audi A8.

How is a perfect day for you? Wake up early – running very early in the morning ( I love running when there is no one around), eating breakfast, studying, relaxing with friends (or girlfriend J ) and then training with my mates in the evening. I love that. That’s life.

Favorite clothes brand? Solid or Lacoste

What you like the most? Honesty and having fun – and for sure skating – and then I love winning.

What you hate? Not being honest and misunderstandings.

Your qualities? disciplined and hard working – and always helping others.

Your failings? Sometime forgetting my self and putting to much pressure on my self..

How do you picture yourself in 10 years? One of the best sportsphysios in Denmark and assistant national speedskating coach for the Danish national team – and then at that time when speedskating have been a part of the Olympics in 2016, then I have for participated as a age as 31.

If you could be anyone you want for one day, who would it be? I only want to be my self.

If you were an animal what would it be? A dolphin – fast, strong, clever and social.

Getting out of bed, what are your first thoughts? How am I going to get the best out of this day – and then breakfast.

If I tell you these words, what are you thinking of ?

Rollerblade….. I.B.U Speedodrome - awesome

Berlin… Great race – great atmosphere.

Olympics..... my dream.

Wish...... Is only good if you work hard at it.

How do you feel about joining the Rollerblade I.B.U. Speedodrom? What are your expectations ?

I’m verry happy to join this new team. I will be again with an old teammate (Mathieu) from 2000. It will be a new experience for me because i was always in very big team like Salomon, Powerslide…and to start a new history with a young team and with people who love inline it’s very nice and i’m very exciting. I will do my best for the team and hope win some races and show the color of the team highest as possible with a great image of fair-play, respect of adversary, rules…

How long have you been skating ?

I practiced inlineskating for 18 years now.

What do you prefer in your sport ?

There are lots of things…like the speed, freedom feeling when you skate outside. And i like to be a « outdoor sport » because it’s very nice to skate under the sun during the summer.

What gave you the desire to begin skating ?

I just only wanted to do like my brother and it’s why i have started inline

The summary of your 2007 skating season ?

I was in Matter-World Inline center team with Yann Guyader, Jorge Cifuentes, Nelson Garzon and Ewen Fernandez. I started the season with a victory in the french championship «long distance » where i won the 5km time trial. After a long marathon season began with the French inline cup, World Inline cup and Swiss inline cup. For the french cup my results were 1 victory,2 x2^nd, 1x 3rd. For the WIC and SIC, i did some good places in the Top 10 but my marathon’s season was not as i hoped before. For the french championships, it was almost good but there was Yann, and he was very impressive last year, so i finished lots of time second. At the european, i won 1gold (relay),1silver (1000m) and 1 bronce (500m). At Worlds, i did one bronce medal.

Your sport goals for the coming years ?

I really want to show that i can be a very good skater on marathon. Since i’m in the WIC circuit, i am close to the podiums with severals times 4th,5th…but never better. For the championships, i would like to win at least one other world’s title in the 2 next years. I already won one individual in 2004 but since Italy i only won silver and bronce and i want an oser one.

One line to describe what you feel when you skate ?

I feel a fluidity and a freedom to skate.

How do you see the evolution of Inline skating in the coming years ?

All the past wear i was very optimist for inline skating but now i’m much reserved on the évolution. I think, inline is in a period like mounda bike 10years ago with a market going down but even with this market, there are always more skaters at a race like Berlin or even in France, so i think that the people are presents and there is a possibility of a good evolution. The best evolution i can see it’s a national level with circuits like FIC, German Blade Challenge…

Your best memory ?

When I crossed first the line in 2002 for my first european gold and i saw my parents and some friends close to cry, i was verry surprise of this and also verry happy
