It never feels good if you don't reach all of your goals, neither in sport, nor in business nor in your personal life. But the key thing is to never give up, we have taken our learnings from 2014 and developed an exciting and promising strategy for the period up until 2020.

Nobody has approached us because they want to buy the company or buy a large number of shares.

It is just the beginning. America is not a sprint for us, it is more a marathon... We still have a lot of work ahead of us.

We are now back in full swing. Adidas and Reebok have made an excellent start to 2015. You will see that in our first quarter figures this week.
