Baden-Baden. Triathlon-Star Jan Frodeno, putter Christina Schwanitz and the champion team of the Nordic combined are the German “Sportsman of the Year” 2015th
Some 750 guests donated to the victors in the Gala on Sunday night at the Kurhaus in Baden-Baden applause. With Frodeno won for the first time since 2011 yet another athlete as a discus thrower and triple winner Robert Harting. Schwanitz follows Ski Olympic champion Maria Höfl-Riesch. In 2014 the teams had the football World Cup triumphs.
For Frodeno the award is the perfect end of a historic year for him Sport. With his victory at the legendary Ironman in Hawaii in October, the 34-year-old managed what had succeeded nor anyone before him: He may since call Olympic and Ironman World Champion
After 3.86 kilometers in water. , 180 kilometers on the bike and 42.2 km running was the exceptional sportsman fallen in Hawaii’s heat on his knees and kissed his pregnant wife Emma’s belly. And the World Cup triumph on the picture-perfect island was 2015 not his only success. In Frankfurt he had won the European title
“Of course it was a crazy year for me,” Frodeno had the advance said. “For me, it’s nice to see that my sport is now apparently also publicly perceived that way.” Frodeno is the first triathlete ever to be voted “Sportsman of the Year”. Frodeno sat down only just before ski jumping world champion and overall World Cup winner Severin Freund by.
Something clearly was the result in the teams where the Nordic Combined relatively clearly prevailed before the biathlon seasons of women and men. For the first time in 28 years the Nordic skiing aces to Tino Edelmann, Eric Frenzel, Fabian Rießle and Johannes Rydzek had earlier this year won the world title.
A few months later also shot putter Christina Schwanitz celebrated in ” Bird’s Nest “stadium in Beijing. 16 years after Astrid Kumbernuss a German world championship gold had for the first time secured. However, the 29-year-old landed in the athlete-election only a tiny margin ahead of championship javelin champion Katharina Molitor.
