Moments of happiness

Gifts from around the world

What's the craziest or most unusual thing a fan has ever said or given Kili?

“It's not the craziest thing, but it's something very valuable. All the satisfaction that my guests/fans have at the end of the day and say thank you. Seeing their shining eyes after a day in the mountains is something very special. That is the greatest gift.”

Personalities to look up to

Who is Kili's greatest role model outside of sport and why?

“That's difficult, have I ever thought about it? It's really difficult to say who I look up to. There are many people I admire. My goal is to stay the way I am and not try to pretend. I look up to people who have managed to remain themselves despite their success. Perhaps nature is also a role model, where it takes what it has created.”

From childhood dream to reality

What was Kili's dream job as a child?

“That's pretty easy, I used to want to be a ski racer.”
