Franziska Preuss has had her most successful season. The 31-year-old is also happy privately-because your partner has a lot of understanding for her.
Biathlete Franziska Preuß even brought special victims for her triumph in the overall World Cup in dealing with her friend Simon Schempp. She was “really careful” because of the risk of infection, emphasized the 31-year-old at “Pizza & Pommes”, the BR24Sport-Podcast with Felix Neureuther and Philipp Nagel: “The Simon lives in the normal world in the normal world.
Then it is “the consequence that you sleep separately first. Fortunately, we now have guest rooms, then we separate ourselves,” said Preuss. Schempp understands this, because after all, “a failure is the maximum sentence”. When he was on the road, the mass starting world champion emphasized for several days, “emphasized the mass start:” We then have separate bedrooms, separate bathroom. We are actually extremely professional. ” Living together is “sometimes like in a monastery”.
Preuss continued the topic, explained that even the jointly celebrated Christmas festival with the family was spent in the fresh air: “We now have a few children in the family, many teachers. (…) You can compare it well with the shepherds in front of the hut,” she said. The risk of infection could be minimized – with success.
When her overall World Cup victory was perfect after the dramatic season finale at the Holmenkollen, she “really drove her in Simon in her arms,” said Preuss: “The Simon also went through all valleys with me and he also knew or saw, as I have already suffered because of the biathlon and I think he also knows what that was for me.”
