A CONVERSATION with Elise Christie finds her in a good place, physically and mentally. When we speak she is in Switzerland preparing for round two of the eSkootr Championships (ESC), the former world champion’s latest pursuit following her retirement from short track speed skating at the end of last year. And more on that later.
The views of Sion, she reveals, are beautiful, the weather is warm and she appears to have fallen in with a simpatico group, all thrown together from different backgrounds to compete in the inaugural season of electric scooter racing being held in glamorous venues all across the globe. A podium place would again elude her in Switzerland but the next opportunity isn’t too far away with the third stage set to take place in Italy from July 15.
