Fair Sportsgeist: Thieme congratulates Warger on the Paris ticket

Thieme Gönnt Warger. Paris ticket

The dream of the Olympic Games in Paris may have burst for Andre Thieme, but his fairness in dealing with the defeat is remarkable. After making mistakes in the Nations Prize and only taking sixth place in Germany, Thieme already saw his nomination in danger.

as national coach Otto Becker Jana Wargers with Dorette called as a replacement rider, Thieme showed himself as a fair loser. He praised Warger's' performance in the Nations Prize, in which she completed two flawless rounds and strengthened her hopes for an Olympic participation.

thieme, on the other hand, accepted his mistakes in the nation price and his associated non-nomination. He admitted that he had approached the matter too cramped and the tension was too high.

Only when Thieme accepted that he would not go to Paris could he get back a certain ease in his victory at the Chio in Aachen. His wife immediately noticed a difference in his riding style, which now seemed liberated.

The victory in Aachen not only brought the entry into the winning table of the Chio, but also a prize money of 500,000 euros. A remarkable success that shows that fairness and respect in sport can also be rewarded.
