After years full of illnesses, biathlete Franziska Preuss makes caution. Your friend also has to make sacrifices.
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: “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”.
Prussia keeps the distance between friend Simon Schempp
If he was on the road, the mass starting world champion emphasized that “the distance was offered first”: “We then have separate bedrooms, separates bathroom. We are actually extremely professional.” Living together is “sometimes like in a monastery”.
When her overall World Cup victory was perfect after the dramatic season finale at the Holmenkollen, she “really drove 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.”
