Franziska Preuß has chosen the world champion in the persecution. Her trainer then had to redeem a bet and the German biathlon star implemented the honor debt-not to everyone’s delight.
When Franziska Preuss fulfilled her dream on Sunday and won the Gold Biathlon Championship in the persecution, she then ran at her discipline coach Sverre Olsbu Röiseland and made a scissor movement. The Norwegian had promised to leave his mane in a gold success and only said on ZDF on Sunday: “Joa, that will happen this evening. But maybe not tomorrow.” It has happened now and the world champion hired a hand herself.
The wife of the German discipline coach, Marte Olsbu Röiseland, posted a Facetime screenshot in her story on Instagram. The new “hairstyle” by Sverre Olsbu Röiseland can be clearly seen on this. The 34-year-old has no hair on his head and otherwise a daring pattern was shaved in his hair back. The Norwegian ex-biathlete wrote about the screenshot: “Franzi, what did you do with my husband?” And further: “I guess that’s the price for being a world champion coach.”
How did the daring haircut come about? This is shown by the biathlon inside account of the German Ski Association (DSV). A video was uploaded there, in which you can see how Prussia shaves to shave her hair. The association writes: “Betting debts are honorary debt.” And: “Everyone can bald.” The video then clearly shows that the shaved pattern on the one hand is a lightning and on the other a heart. Preuss always had to laugh himself and Sverre Olsbu Röiseland also found the campaign of the overall World Cup very funny.
In addition to Röiseland, German trainer Kristian Mehringer also had to believe it and was also given a funny hairstyle. The German biathlete Danilo Riethmüller watched amused. The International Biathlon Union (IBU) only wrote about the video: “This is quickly escalated.”
