Lilly Stoephasius: Deutscher Olympia-Star über Skateparks in Berlin & wie sie neue Tricks lernt

It's a Wednesday evening in May, and Lilly Stoephasius has, for once, a section of the Berlin skatepark on the RAW grounds to herself. The rest of the German skateboarding team is currently training in Argentina, where a qualifying competition for next year's Paris Olympic Games will take place at the end of May. Lilly Stoephasius has only returned home for about two weeks because she has exams for her secondary school leaving certificate coming up. "When I'm in Berlin, I train four times a week for about two to three hours," she says. "When I'm away, it can be up to six hours a day." She's 15 years old, a student for quite some time, and one of the world's best skaters, having finished ninth at the Tokyo Olympics. #skateboard #lillystopephasius #skate #tagesspiegel
