Sophie Alisch: From the boxing ring onto the racing bike-an Olympic dream comes true!

Berlin, Deutschland - Sophie Alisch, the talented 23-year-old athlete, announced today that she is taking a surprising change from professional boxes to racing cycling. Alisch, who has been part of the German Olympic team for 16 years and has always remained unbeaten in her ten professional fights, reveals that her decision is based on a lack of fighting and inadequate support in women's boxing. In a new chapter of her sporting career, she strives to participate in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

The change to racing cycling is not only a sporting challenge for Alisch, but also a matter close to the heart. "I have already done a lot with my racing bike privately," she explains and emphasizes her passion for this sport. In view of the increasing number of women's teams in cycling, she sees positive changes and opportunities for her career.

New training focus and competition plans

The changeover from strength to endurance training means a physical adaptation for Alisch, which also requires a change in your diet. She plans to rise to the world leaders in cycling within 12 to 16 months with the aim of participating in public races this year.

To meet her sporting goals, Alisch has dissolved her contract with the US promotional company Wassermann and will train under the experienced coach José Antonio Bolívar, who is already waiting for you in Mallorca. Alisch has also signed a contract with the renowned bicycle manufacturer Canyon and is currently looking for a suitable team to start your racing career.

outlook on the 2028 Olympic Games

The 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles are the focus of many athletes, and Alisch has clearly formulated their ambitions. Compared to the previous games, the total number of athletes is expected to be 10,500, with 5,333 women and 5,167 men. Interestingly, the number of medal decisions will increase from 329 to 351, and new sports such as baseball/softball and cricket will be included in the program. It is particularly gratifying for the women's sport that 16 women's teams will take part for the football tournament, an increase of 12 teams in 2024.

alisch will not only be remembered as one of the new faces in cycling, but also contributes to growing equality in sports. The step into a new discipline could be inspiring for many young athletes and shows how important it is to find and defend your own place in sport.
