The XXIV Olympic Winter Games will take place in Beijing from February 4th to 20th. Martina Ertl is someone who knows what is important at a major event. The former alpine star took part in five winter games and won three medals. For sport.de, the 48-year-old comments on what is happening around the major event in China.
Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher became a legend on the horsepower circuits of this world.
What seemed so easy was combined with an incredible talent and an intuition to always take the right conclusions from the training and the handling of the instrument, the vehicle.
Mechanics who have worked with Schumacher are always fascinated by this ability to read every noise, every driving behavior and to optimize the vehicle and thus their own performance.
The Michael Schumacher of the Eiskanal is called Francesco Friedrich, lives between Dresden and the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and has been breaking records with seemingly no effort for years. He keeps his fellow combatants at a distance without effort, but his successes, you can be absolutely sure, are always the sum of many small-scale factors on which the Saxon, who is a carefree and approachable cheerful person in the interpersonal area, works meticulously.
Friedrich a worthy flag bearer
Eyewitnesses report that he personally is the keeper of every runner and registers everything that happens around and with his bob very sensitively. He also has every attack from outside on his radar, so it’s no wonder that Friedrich once again reacted when he saw the good runs of his opponents in training.
He reacted immediately, tinkered, exchanged material, had to do day and night in the bobsleigh shed. It was almost a coincidence that he didn’t swap the bob for the bed. His pushing crew members are also regularly included in the optimization, where the focus is on improvements in the hundredth range at the start.
Francesco Friedrich is a perfectionist who works hard to achieve his successes over and over again with great motivation. His victories aren’t easy or easy because they always come, but because he just never tires of facing the challenges with consistent, high quality.
The choice of Friedrich as the flag bearer was justified and he confirmed it with the gold medal in the two-man bobsleigh.
Many greetings
Martina Ertl
