[ad_1] Graham Thorpe wrestled with his demons for more than two decades before his tragic death earlier this year. (Image: ICC) It is especially sobering to write about sportspersons and mental health just over two months after Graham Thorpe, England cricket stalwart of yesteryear, took his own life. Sadly, Thorpe is far from being an exception. Cricket, with its tours that can last months and a lifestyle that means you’re hardly ever home, poses a huge mental-health challenge for those that play it. Even after the gladiatorial days are done, many struggle to fill the void, with substance abuse and other poor choices taking the place of the cheers of adoring audiences. This is no 21st century phenomenon either. More than 30 years ago, David Frith, who literally had to ‘eat his words’ following India’s 1983 World Cup win, published a book called By His Own Hand, which studied cricket suicides going back a hundred years. In a cruel twist of fate, the foreword was written by Peter Roebuck, who ended his life in Cape Town over a decade ago. There is, however, no direct correlation between time away from your familiar environs and mental health. Footballers spend far more time at home than cricketers do, but the pressures associated with playing the world’s most popular sport still take a toll. For many sportspersons, mental health is inextricably entwined with their physical conditions. In elite sport, you’re only ever one terrible injury away from the end, and nothing brings on the dark beast quite like succumbing to one. Even proven winners like @Neeraj_chopra1, @Abhinav_Bindra and @PGopichand73 have had their moments of anxiety and vulnerability. It’s part of the game for any sportsperson, and no stigma should be attached to it.@BoriaMajumdar @BSV_Global https://t.co/D6WtWlgKjb — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) October 10, 2024   Once, at the turn of the millennium, Sebastian Deisler was the wonder boy of German football. But as the injuries, especially to his knees, racked up, he started to spend more time on the operating table and in rehab than out on the pitch. It became a vicious cycle – injury, operation, depression, recovery…and then another injury. Finally, days after turning 27 and having been capped 36 times by his country, Deisler called it quits, saying that he had perhaps never been cut out for the ruthless world of professional sport. He went on to write a book and found his peace. Deisler was one of the lucky ones, because he played at a time when social media and its dark side were not all-pervasive. These days, top athletes don’t just have to deal with the pressure of their own expectations. They are held accountable by faceless millions, many of whom wouldn’t have a clue what it takes to be the best at anything. You now have bizarre scenarios where players go on to their social media platforms to apologise for poor performances or defeats. Uruguay’s Manuel Ugarte was a last-minute signing for Manchester United before the transfer window closed in August. Anyone with an iota of sense would understand that it will take him a while to get attuned to his new surroundings and teammates. Yet, such is the negativity around United at the moment that Ugarte felt compelled to say sorry on social media after an underwhelming display in a Europa League game against FC Twente. Imagine a newcomer in the IT or banking sector going online to apologise for a minor coding or accounting mistake. It wouldn’t happen. But for whatever reason, sportspersons are not allowed to have bad days. Manuel Ugarte (Image: Manchester United) In Thorpe’s case, the downward mental-health spiral began with the breakdown of his first marriage, in the backdrop of lurid tabloid headlines about his private life. Those writing in the ‘public interest’ never paused to think of the damage their stories did, and their impact on Thorpe’s relationship with his young children. Though he was able to start over, the dark clouds never really went away. It’s
only now, thanks to the candour of champions like Virat Kohli, PV Sindhu and Neeraj Chopra, that mental health in sports is even being discussed in India. For too long, the idiotic default reaction to a player who was struggling was to ask him (or her) to ‘man up’, as though acknowledging your fears and anxieties was some form of weakness. The cutthroat nature of professional sport ensures that crushing disappointments will always be the other side of the coin to euphoria. Those watching it all from the sidelines, however, do have a duty of care. Be kind.    The post Social media has made mental-health balance even trickier for sportspersons appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports. [ad_2] Source link

Day 25 - and again at Rio Arado..
It didn’t take me long to decide to stay put for another day. It was another pleasantly warm and dry day, though the sun was restricted to the morning. Rain is coming, but late this afternoon, and tomorrow I believe.
Roja’s looking a bit tired after yesterday which had a lot of big rock steps both up and down. My planning always was for some long days with him, some shorter days with him with me out on the bike in the afternoon. Today was such a day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It began with a river crossing. The dog’s favourite, but not one of my strengths, despite all the training over the years, not least the New Ing lunch breaks with Scott and Eeva. It took a while, but I managed it, and without a soaking.
Then we ascended the group of rocks that form a viewpoint that dominate this immediate area. It has steps cut into it, and ascends about 90 metres, to 777 metres. The last sections, around a cliff edge, are on metal steps - not the dog’s favourite by any means. I’ve said before that he doesn’t trust anything to walk on that’s man made, and he needed to summon all of his courage to get to the top.

With eagle eyes the van can be spotted..

The city of Braga is relatively close, less than an hour by car, and Porto another hour, so the weather has brought out a few Portuguese day trippers. They are easy to identify; cell phone in one hand, plastic bottle of water in the other, and the huge jacket they started out with in 20C flung over the shoulder.
In the years of consultancy work I did after teaching I worked with the delivery of a Sport England study on users of the outdoors. The study put users into 7 categories, the smallest of which in terms of money spent in the locality was genuine sportsperson, the hiker, biker, climber, kayaker, etc. The largest of which was the brigade I had always grown up taking the piss out of, those who hung around the likes of Betwys in very piece of gear imaginable, venturing no further than the coffee, souvenir and outdoor shops.
The survey’s purpose was to provide information for working towards National Parks being for everyone.
These Portuguese I refer to, are likely not to have had the fortune to experience and learn about the outdoors in their youth. It seems inconvenient and unnecessary to carry a rucksack, proper footwear and clothing. It explains the trepidation of many to venture out even, or the opposite, to wander too far into the mountains and put themselves in danger.
This area is extremely popular once the weather settles, but right now, there are so few people around that it is interesting to chat. I also met a group of four young Hungarian lads over in Porto for a week’s vacation, and on a day out.
After lunch I headed out on the bike. I’ve been somewhat tentative so far, just doing half hours, but went for it today with a decent off-road circuit. The downhill, which was at the start, was rather steeper and washed out than I expected; thrilling it may have been, though it was more technical than I would have opted for, given a choice..
This has been a tremendous and memorable stopover place. Obviously it would be different in the season, but right now, it offers 360 mountain views, the odd goat or horse visiting, and peace other than the trickling streams.
Tumblr media
and the ‘goat-dogs’..
Tumblr media
There has been the odd person, the German couple the first night, the Polish the second, but most, like them, come and go when they find no cell phone signal.

I am not a football fan but I am queer.
As a queer German I have struggled so much with finding myself.
No one in the school system ever taught me about other sexualities or other gender identities. All I knew was that there was straight/gay and that was my knowledge for the first 10+ years of my life.
I was afraid to come out because I had first hand seen bullying of another classmate that did.
The first years of my Gesamtschule (basically a place where you can go from 10-16 for anyone and get different forms of education for anyone not familiar with the various ways the German school system works) everyone thought I was a lesbian and some even went to for as to pressure me to come out. Even if I was a lesbian I would have never come out after seeing a girl in my grade change the school because the bullying was so bad on her for being one.
The first time I really learned how I was (someone that is asexual) and told a friend (the first person I ever told that I might romantically also be interested in girls) I was laughed at and brushed aside.
I saw people like me get killed, shot, attacked every year since I figured I wasn't straight.
Just this year when I went to a pride parade I had slurs thrown at me.
I am sorry but a "we won't be silenced isn't good enough."
That doesn't erase the shooting that just happened this week.
That doesn't erase the person who was just this year attacked at my home town for being queer.
That doesn't erase the fact that anytime I go out, the best I hope for is just some off hand comments.
That doesn't erase all the people who have died because of who they were. Or the people who fought to get where we are and those lost in that fight.
What Thomas Müller said has hurt more than I thought it would. Saying that people can't expect a sportsperson "to give up" their dreams to take a political stance.
How dare he?
How dare the German NT?
How dare you be afraid of what little punishment you might get when everyday people have to hide who they are in order to not get killed?
How fucking dare you try to make us the villains for expecting nothing less than putting on some silly wrist band?
How fucking dare you try everything not to make a direct stance?
I don't have that choice. Neither does anyone else of the community.
The only choice I ever made was be myself and everyday, especially when I am myself openly, I have to endure the hate.
I expect the comments.
I fear the confrontation.
I dread any physical attack.
I feel sick seeing the violence.
I feel terrified of one day being on the news as another person killed because of a hate crime.
Maybe I am more "safe" living here.
But others aren't.
Every day I have to see people of my community fear for their lives.
Every month I hear of another person who died being who they were and loving who they loved.
Every year the lists of names to remember because their lives where taken gets longer.
So I hope from the bottom of my heart that when you had a choice to make, a simple decisions you considered all that.

UK: Everyone Now Drowning in Enoch’s Rivers of Blood The Prophet Enoch is a well-known figure in the Old Testament. Consequently his name has been popular as a personal name at certain periods, with parents of Jewish and Christian backgrounds naming their sons after him. The name never used to have any significance, except in reference to the biblical figure, other family members or some minor celebrity used to be the fictional character “Aynuk”, who features in comic dialogues with his mate “Ayli” (Eli) in local humour from the Black Country, the industrial area to the west of Birmingham – if you can understand the dialect. But nowadays it is a very brave person who dares give their child the name Enoch. It has developed connotations so disturbing that no one wants to be associated with it. “Enoch” is an insult you give to a particularly nasty, bigoted, narrow minded racist who is happy to be that way, regardless of the harm it causes. Call someone that, and you expect a violent or verbally aggressive reaction, a lot of other people joining in, and probably several trips to the hospital. So why has the man who destroyed the reputation of this name come back into the news? In the UK, where he did his evil deeds, there was no story. But the rest of the world has noticed his resurgence for the same reason they do when former Communists gain votes in Eastern bloc countries, and the German and Italian far right make comebacks. These countries are supposed to have got over all that nonsense, but here they are, backsliding into the bad old days. For over fifty years, British political life has tried to move beyond Enoch Powell. Now he is being looked back on with fondness by the most extraordinary constituency. What he represents has gained a new respectability – and this is as frightening as any nuclear bomb, or deranged US president, when you realise why this has happened, and how easily it can happen anywhere else. Beyond fame One of many ironies in this story is that he wasn’t even supposed to be an Enoch. The notorious former Conservative and then Ulster Unionist MP was christened John Enoch Powell, and therefore not expected to use his middle name in everyday life. Powell was always known to be intellectually brilliant. He was a classical scholar who university contemporaries remembered being very much a loner, simply because he couldn’t find anyone of his own level to talk to. Even near the end of his life, when accused of agreeing with something outrageous in conversation at a dinner, a witness to the event commented: “He wouldn’t remember because he is always in the clouds above us. He was probably speaking Aramaic at the time.” Yet despite his many gifts and accomplishments, Powell lives in history as a result of a speech he made in Birmingham in 1968 in which he attacked mass immigration from the British Commonwealth. This is known as the “Rivers of Blood” speech, because although he didn’t actually use those words, he quoted this line from Virgil’s Aeneid: “As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see ‘the River Tiber foaming with much blood’”. This astonishing attack on people of colour by a senior politician got Powell sacked from the Shadow Cabinet (the opposition party’s alternative ministerial team). But they struck a chord with many people who felt that the UK was being overrun by “foreigners” (non-white people), and they were becoming strangers in their own land. Though hardly anyone in a public position wanted to be associated with Powell thereafter, his views were shared by many voters, who thus considered themselves a persecuted underclass, being robbed of what was rightfully theirs by a liberal elite incapable of representing them. Exactly the same arguments used by the Brexit cult and its supporters today. Down the pub, in safe environments, you could admit to agreeing with Enoch Powell. In places regarded as “respectable” and “establishment,” his views and supporters were beyond the pale. Yet now, in a poll by the radio station of The Times newspaper, the most “establishment” journal of all, 16% of respondents have stated that Enoch Powell, out of a long list of historical figures, would have made a good Prime Minister. That is the third highest number. Just imagine how loved someone must be to be the third most desired leaderin any country’s history. Powell died over twenty years ago. But his racist rhetoric, and general outspokenness on other subjects, are still part of the UK’s political legacy. Everyone still knows who Enoch was, and why he’s famous, and has an opinion on him. Far from softening his reputation, time has magnified it beyond the many failures Powell endured after his notorious speech. So have the many attempts, at every official level, to declare him and his views unacceptable., because these are so obviously political in nature, dictates from above. When consulted by people in authority about other issues, people who agree with Powell think they are being spoken to as fellow human beings. If they mention race issues,they feel they are talking to a dictated opinion, imposed upon the people who repeat it as much as them. This sends them running to anyone who can treat them with respect, but still hold these abhorrent views. But Brexit has taken the sad rehabilitation of Enoch Powell to another level. Leaving the EU remains as it always was: the mantra of those who feel dispossessed because they have the “wrong views” on immigration and many other matters. Winning that argument has made the “Enochs” feel they are now in charge, and can behave however they like. BoJo the Clown and his circus have made this acceptable, and they pride themselves on doing what no other government has dared to say or do, because that in itself makes them heroes to people who just want someone to listen to them. All this has made Enoch a Prophet once again. For some he is a martyr to political correctness, the forerunner of Farage who suffered for being on the side the Brexit referendum has now proved right, in its own eyes. But most of us never deal with anyone like Enoch Powell. We don’t have a framework to see him within. This isn’t because it doesn’t exist, but because it does – and makes us all look so stupid, we wish it didn’t. Beyond point Powell has had several biographers. Each one has soon discovered that Powell had very clear positions on a wide range of topics, each meticulously argued, often in the face of intellectual disapproval. For example, it is generally agreed that although Saint Matthew’s Gospel is placed first in the New Testament, Saint Mark’s Gospel was written earlier. Powell spent decades trying to prove the contrary, with a supreme belief in his own understanding backed by wide and deep scholarship few can ever have equalled in this field. The big task for a biographer is to work out how all Powell’s different positions fitted together, and what this tells us about the man. Each one has made a point of saying they have done this. But by the act of doing so, they make clear that there isn’t a definitive understanding, and that what they think may be their personal conclusion, but there is room for argument. As a result of the horrible views he expressed, no one wants to bracket Powell with other great geniuses. But he was undoubtedly a major figure in the political life of his day, even when he no longer had any chance of office, or even a party he could call his own. Major figures do have one thing in common. Everyone who is good at a particular thing is very different from all the others who are good at it. Think of artists, car makers, sportspersons, newsreaders – if they are good, they are distinct, and do what only they can do. Brilliant people have the next dimension up. They can only function by being not only different, but the opposite. They cannot accept the arguments everyone else finds persuasive. They can only exercise their brains by arguing the opposite of what everyone else accepts, simply because only people of their intellectual level can do that successfully. Enoch Powell was an early exponent of what later became known as monetarism. He developed his views at a time when Keynesianism was the accepted logic, backed by powerful political and social forces which declared all non-accepters to be morally maladjusted, unable to grasp the rightness of the new, post World War Two classless society. In time, professional economists started drawing the same conclusions as Powell. Most of these probably never knew that Powell had had the same ideas first, and wouldn’t have wanted to admit it if they had, because he was a layman in economic terms. But when Keynesianism ran its course, politicians such as Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, like Powell conservatives who gloried in seeming extreme, adopted a lot of Powell’s own economic thinking as if it were their own. Most thinkers in such circumstances would be glad to be proved right. But Powell was rather upset, insisting that these people didn’t really understand his arguments. What he meant was, if his arguments were so poor that his inferiors could understand them, they weren’t as good as he thought they were. The mere fact that his views had been accepted meant he had to reject them as unworthy of his superior intelligence. This is the one common thread in Enoch Powell’s outrageous and contrary bucketful of opinions. They were so wrong that only a brilliant man would be able to think and argue them. Powell needed the power of his own argument, which was always more important to him than believing a word he said. Maybe Enoch Powell really did believe his evil rhetoric. But that wasn’t important. The point was to gain intellectual stimulus by trying to make the impossible true. It’s the way brilliant people operate. But doesn’t it remind you of anyone else? Beyond acceptance Donald Trump and Boris Johnson are in broadly the same part of the political spectrum Powell was. Neither is regarded as anywhere near as brilliant as Enoch. But they attract the same sort of visceral adoration from the same type of people: those who feel excluded for having the “wrong views,” who feel these wilful outsiders represent their interests and no one else does. Both Trump and Johnson are regarded by many as pathological liars, and with considerable justification. This is often considered, rightly or wrongly, to be par for the course for politicians. What makes these two different is that they don’t seem to care, or understand why anyone else should. Trump is so associated with lying to his back teeth that people began counting his lies even before he had been elected. Since then, this has become a cottage industry, and has produced disturbing data. But Donald doesn’t care, and neither do his supporters. All that matters is that he makes the argument he wants to make, no matter how wrong and downright dangerous it is. He doesn’t feel any need to believe a word he says, or have anyone else believe it, it is all about how he says it. BoJo was sacked for lying when he was a newspaper columnist, and has made a long string of offensive statements about every segment of the population, in print and in person. Thousands of these are also well-documented. When this was brought to his attention, he told everyone to ignore whatever he might have written or said. It was all show, people shouldn’t conclude that he actually believed anything he’d ever said or done in his whole life. Those who buy into the racist rhetoric and wilful contrariness of Enoch Powell, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson do so because they believe in what these men say. It matters to them, it’s important. But those who say it are only interested in advancing an argument to convince themselves they can get away with it. They don’t have to believe it themselves, and aren’t interested in whether they do. Maybe we want someone to con us so we don’t have to admit we’ve conned ourselves. We all know, deep down, that conning ourselves leads to nowhere good. We don’t want to put ourselves in that place, or our friends and family. So we let Enoch and Donald and Boris do it for us, in public, and let them take the blame for what we have chosen to become. This is what these people represent, and as Enoch isn’t alive to disappoint anyone, he always will – if we let him, by continuing to let his successors get away with it.

I know that Eisei probably won’t win German sportsperson of the year tonight since they tend to forget winter sports in the election. But I will riot if he doesn’t win.

For example, #hungary 2016 or #usa 2019. -> Azerbaijan is listed as Baku. -> Countries with multiple races will be tagged as both the country and track (for example, Spain and Valencia/Jerez/Barcelona, Germany and Hockenheim/Nurburg). -> European GP content is tagged as both European and the name of the track, either Valencia or Baku. -> Where possible, days are also tagged. So, for example, #monaco 2019 thursday. 2. If you’re looking for just a specific year, the format is either #flashback fic ref [year] or #fic ref [year]. #flashback fic ref is any year before 2021. #fic ref is for 2021 onward. 3. If you’re looking for just a specific track, that’s tagged too! Just search the country. 4. On a quest for other racing-related content but not from F1 race weekends, you say? -> Pre-season and post-season tags! For example, #pre-season 2012 or #post-season 2009. -> Testing, specifically, is also tagged! The format is testing [year], like #testing 2018. -> Race of Champions? Goes by year, and is listed under both “roc” and “race of champions”. For example, #roc 2008 or #race of champions 2011. 5. Things he does in his capacity as an F1 driver, but not strictly racing-related? -> The FIA gala is listed under both “fia gala” and “fia prize giving”. Examples: #fia gala 2018 or #fia prize giving 2011. -> Autosport Awards / Laureus World Sports Awards / German Sportspersonality of the Year -> Charity soccer games: Partita del Cuore / Kick Fur Kinder / Champions For Charity 6. And, of course, non-racing-related content: -> The format is [year] not a race. For example, #2007 not a race. -> If you’d like a specific time period during a season, it’s separated by what races it fell between. For example, #between japan and usa 2018. -> Summer break 2022! 7. Feeder series! -> Formula BMW ADAC (all) / Formula BMW ADAC 2003 / Formula BMW ADAC 2004 -> Formula 3 (all) / Formula 3 2005 / Formula 3 2006 -> Formula Renault 3.5 8. All under-18 content is tagged as #childhood photos. 9. Relationships (not taking requests to add to this): -> Sewis -> Smick / With Mick (underage) -> George Russell -> Michael Schumacher 10. Important! On the website version of Tumblr, you can combine search items. This is immensely helpful for finding specific things! -> So, for example, if you open search and type in "hungary 2022, smick" it’ll only pull up Smick content from the Hungarian GP. :) -> Or “flashback fic ref 2011, autosport awards” -> Or “testing 2013, jerez” 11. Trigger tags I commonly use: * These are either for my use or by request and are not up for discussion or debate. If you need something added, please drop me a dm or ask to let me know. 💚 -> #tw max (verstappen) -> #tw transphobe (webber) -> #tw nico (rosberg) -> #tw kimi (raikkonen) -> #tw bernie ecclestone -> #tw helmut marko -> #tw christian horner -> #tw dietrich mateschitz -> #tw crash -> #tw death -> #tw body perception -> #tw food / #cw food This is a pretty exhaustive list, but if you need help or are confused, feel free to contact me! <3

Lewis Hamilton: From humble beginnings to seven world titles
As Lewis Hamilton celebrated his record-equalling seventh System One World Championship and but extra riches, it was a world away from his humble beginnings on a Stevenage council property.
It’s straightforward to neglect, now that he has earned a fortune of some £250million and drawn degree with Michael Schumacher’s title haul that many thought would stand the check of time, fairly what a trailblazer the younger Hamilton was.
Lewis Hamilton spent his early profession racing karts (Kieran Doherty/PA)
Breaking down racial limitations throughout a prodigious profession as a junior karter, he summoned the braveness to hunt out McLaren boss Ron Dennis.
Hamilton was aged simply 10, and carrying a borrowed dinner jacket at a central London awards ceremony, when he requested Dennis if he might drive for him. Dennis wrote within the teen’s autograph e-book: “Cellphone me in 9 years, and we’ll type one thing out then.”
Tumblr media
(PA Graphics)
Hamilton didn’t have to attend that lengthy. Simply three years later, he signed for McLaren and was supplied with a magic carpet into System One as probably the most ready driver within the sport’s historical past.
As soon as there, he would construct on the pure expertise drawn from his early profession which was funded by his father Anthony, who labored a number of jobs to set his son on the trail to greatness.
On his debut in 2007, Hamilton turned the primary black driver to race in System One’s white-dominated world. He dazzled below Australian skies, earlier than recording his first victory in June on the Canadian Grand Prix. Remarkably, he got here inside a single level of profitable the championship in his debut yr.
Twelve months later, and in sometimes dramatic model in Brazil, the second arrived. Hamilton sealed his maiden title on the final nook on the final lap within the final race of the yr.
Story continues
He continued to notch up victories – 21 in all with McLaren – however a second championship would elude him there. The workforce have been unable to supply him with a automobile fast sufficient to take the problem to Sebastian Vettel, and Hamilton jealously watched on as Vettel reeled off 4 championships in a Pink Bull superior to his McLaren equipment.
Disillusioned by failure, Hamilton, who had by now severed managerial ties along with his father, thought of strolling away from the game. He then took the courageous resolution to hitch Mercedes.
It was his transfer to the Silver Arrows which might act as a prelude to the virtually unprecedented run of success which has seen Hamilton take six of the final seven championships, win 73 additional races, and stand alone as the person with extra victories (94) and pole positions (97) than anybody who has gone earlier than.
“Getting one world title was nice and it was very powerful to get the second,” Hamilton mirrored right here in Turkey. “I needed to make an enormous resolution whether or not I stayed put and stored travelling alongside or do one thing extra adventurous.
“I took that leap of religion to hitch Mercedes and I’ve received one after the opposite. I’m simply attempting to depend my blessings, however jeez, did I do know we’d win six world titles collectively? No.
“It says that in life you must take that leap of religion and do what you suppose is best for you and never what folks let you know to do.”
More and more a fixture of the celeb scene, and probably the most recognisable F1 famous person since Schumacher received 5 consecutive championships with Ferrari on the flip of the century, Hamilton met his nemesis within the type of his outdated karting team-mate Nico Rosberg.
Tumblr media

Though Hamilton would declare his second and third championships in 2014 and 2015, Rosberg would develop into the one man to beat him over a significant season. And, maybe fearing he could by no means be capable of attain such lofty heights once more, the German retired simply days after his 2016 triumph, denying Hamilton the prospect of revenge.
His vengeance would as an alternative come in opposition to one other German. Vettel had now ditched Pink Bull for the attract of Ferrari. Their battle was billed as a mouth-watering cocktail of the 2 most adorned drivers of their technology going head-to-head – however it was Hamilton who had extra ice in his glass.
With Rosberg’s substitute Valtteri Bottas no match for Hamilton, additional glory has been inevitable, and simply as in 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Briton, aged 35 – and 22 years after he signed for McLaren – was on Sunday topped king of the world with three races to spare.
It means the person from Stevenage will finish his profession as probably the most profitable driver System One has ever seen and the best British sportsperson of his technology.

The things you probably have to achieve as a German ski jumper in order to become German sportsperson of the year: overall World Cup winner, Ski Flying World Cup winner, quadruple Olympic champion (NH, LH, mixed team, team), quadruple world champion (NH, LH, mixed team, team), double Ski Flying world champion (single, team), Four Hills winner, Raw Air winner, in the same season, obviously...oh, that’s not possible? Well, we don’t care🤷‍♀️
Otherwise, I cannot understand, how last year, Andi (Olympic champion, two times Olympic silver medalist, second place at Four Hills) didn’t not even place in the Top 3, and now Eisei (three times world champion, second place at Four Hills) „only“ 3rd. And that’s today’s tea☕️

international hockey: An Olympic hockey champion and a Corona warrior: Martin Haner reflects on challenges in the Covid era | Hockey News
New Post has been published on https://jordarnews.in/international-hockey-an-olympic-hockey-champion-and-a-corona-warrior-martin-haner-reflects-on-challenges-in-the-covid-era-hockey-news/
international hockey: An Olympic hockey champion and a Corona warrior: Martin Haner reflects on challenges in the Covid era | Hockey News
Tumblr media
NEW DELHI: An Olympic gold medallist and a doctor rolled into one, Germany‘s hockey ace Martin Haner never stopped ‘defending’ even when sports came to a halt for close to six months. The difference was that instead of a hockey stick in hand against the converging opposition players, he wielded the stethoscope in his country’s fight against the coronavirus. In European sports culture, players don’t compromise on academics for sports, maybe because the game is not as professional as it has lately become in India — which is why reaching the level Haner has attained becomes harder and therefore more commendable. But what he encountered over the last five months, when he switched from the operation theatre as an orthopedic surgeon to the intensive care unit, was unprecedented for medical professionals world over. Having said that, watching the pandemic unfold from close quarters, Haner is proud that Germany reacted in a better way compared to the other countries. Last month, the 32-year-old Haner took his doctor’s coat off to wear his Germany jersey when international hockey made a return after a 199-day break because of the pandemic. The Germans hosted world champions Belgium for a two-match FIH Pro League tie in Dusseldorf. Germany were trounced 1-6 in the opening match, while they managed a shootout win in the second after holding the Red Lions to a 1-1 draw in the regulation period. Haner admits that he was both excited and a little apprehensive to play while the Covid-19 pandemic remains prevalent, and the doctor stuck his neck out to admit that travelling longer distances to play hockey presents a greater “risk of infection”. The Berliner HC defender, though, is looking forward to the Olympics in 2021, for which he has extended his hockey career by a year.
Tumblr media
(Haner, with possibly face-mask marks visible under his eyes, earned his 250th international cap in Game 1 vs Belgium – Honamas Facebook Photo) In an exclusive interview with Timesofindia.com, the German veteran opened up both as a doctor and as a player in these unprecedented times. Excerpts… Germany and Belgium were the first teams to resume international hockey while the coronavirus is still a pandemic. Take us through all that went into getting the team back together again to train and then those two match-days after months. It was a strange feeling to get back together with the national team after such a long time. We haven’t had any training sessions together since February. Before we met, of course, all the players and staff were tested for Covid-19 (all were negative). We were very isolated in the hotel and had our own hotel corridor. There were clear agreements on hygiene and we were only allowed to leave the hotel to play hockey. Before the matches against Belgium took place, we were tested again 48 hours before the game (all negative) and the games were played without spectators. Since we are still in the middle of the pandemic, it was a strange feeling; but on the other hand, it was also nice to be able to play international matches again after such a long time. Was there still some fear somewhere in the back of the players’ minds? Our medical department and our manager have made all the arrangements for our training camp and informed us about all the special features, so that we as experienced players did not have to take any fears. Everything was very well planned and luckily there were no positive cases. You are a doctor as well. How do you analyse the return of sports, especially international hockey, amid this pandemic? Does the virus still pose serious threats to sportspersons? I think this question has to be viewed in a very differentiated way. Outdoor sports do not seem to be a particularly high risk of Covid-19 infection. But longer trips are necessary both in the German Bundesliga and even more so in international tournaments. The risk of infection is certainly much greater. Of course, as a doctor and a family man, I have in the back of my mind that I can infect myself and then possibly infect other people. That’s why we try to adhere to all the guidelines wherever possible, but I am very skeptical about long journeys in the current situation
Tumblr media
(Haner in Game 1 vs Belgium – FIH Facebook Photo) Coming to the matches against Belgium, your team turned it around after a below-par outing in the first match to salvage a fighting draw in the second, before winning it in the shootout. How satisfying were your first competitive days in almost six months? It was very nice, but the euphoria was still subdued for me because unfortunately the end of the pandemic is not yet in sight and we don’t know how long we can play. In the first game against Belgium, we played three of four quarters well, and the result (1-6) certainly doesn’t reflect the game. But, of course, it was nice to end our first trip together in the second game with a win after shootout. The Pro League is going to run up to the door of the Olympics in Tokyo. What are Germany’s plans, who have slipped out of the top five in FIH rankings? At the moment, the world ranking is certainly not our main focus. We want to try and prepare as best we can for the Olympic Games next year under the current circumstances, and the Pro League is, of course, extremely important in development, as you are only challenged there against the best teams in the world. There were some talks around you ending your hockey career but I read somewhere that you may extend it by an year to play the Tokyo Games. What’s your current state of mind on that? My plan was to end my hockey career after the Olympics and concentrate fully on my family and my job as a doctor. As a result of the postponement, everything has now shifted by a year and I thought for a long time whether I should continue. After talking to my wife and my boss at work, I received their support in doing sports for another year, for which I am very grateful. Going back a few months, how did your life as an orthopedic surgeon change during these times of a viral pandemic that required almost all the doctors to attend to Covid-19 patients? I work as an orthopedist in an operational area. Due to Covid-19, non-vital operations were banned, so that all of a sudden this was completely eliminated. Then I switched to the intensive care unit. Fortunately, we in Germany have the situation under control relatively well compared to other countries, and we never had more than 5-6 Covid-19 patients in our intensive care unit. But, of course, it was and is a completely different area of activity (in my medical profession) than usual. Did your experience as a sportsperson help you deal with the state of unprecedented emergency inside the ICU? To be honest, it was never as bad in our clinic as when you watched pictures from Italy or Spain on the television. We were very well prepared.
