“It’s really beautiful out here… But knowing what this area looked like before makes me so sad”the ex-world champion wrote in his Instagram story: “All this for three weeks.”
“money, money, money, more money”
In addition, the 33-year-old Thuringian posted a photo that showed him on the first day of training at the biathlon facility that was specially built for the games in Zhangjiakou. The new course with a stadium for around 6,000 spectators and a shooting range was built in the snow-poor mountain region in north-west Beijing, without any international prospects for the time after the Olympics. World Cups are not planned in China in the coming years. Before the games, environmentalists had criticized the swank in the construction of the competition venues in the mountainous region.
Lesser also indirectly attacked the Olympic makers. The words were initially on two promotional items “Solidarity, Inclusion, Equality, Peace, Respect” to read. “I’ll set this right for you”Lesser wrote in his next story, replacing the words with “money, money, money, more money”. Lesser also tagged the official account of the Olympic Games (@olympics).
