Franziska van Almsick, 44, former world-class swimmer has “great concern” about children’s swimming education because of the energy crisis. “Many pools remain closed or are closed. Not only is it difficult to organize to get the children into the water, but now the water surfaces are also disappearing,” said van Almsick in an interview with the German Press Agency. Swimming is important in many aspects of life. “If you can’t swim, you’ll drown.” It was absurd: “Months ago the bathrooms were closed because of the pandemic, now the energy expenditure can no longer be operated.”
Frank Schoebel, 79, pop singer, is looking for soccer opponents. The sports-loving musician is active in the Ü70 at Eintracht Mahlsdorf in East Berlin. In his autobiography he reports: “We train once a week. We’re a little over twenty footballers, five of our sports fans are currently over eighty. They’re still kicking themselves, others of that age don’t get up anymore.” And: “We’ll have to open a Ü80 soon. The stupid thing is, we hardly find any opponents anymore, most of them are sitting on the couch at home, drinking beer or are dead.”
Wigald Boning, 55, comedian, doesn’t do things by halves. “When I walk naked, I prefer to do so without shoes, otherwise that seems inconsistent to me. On the other hand, I like to have one piece of clothing with me, namely a folding top hat, a chapeau claque,” he said on Friday evening on the Radio Bremen talk show “3nach9 “https://www.sueddeutsche.de/panorama/.”Because you can stow a lot of necessary small items in such a cylinder, for example keys, sunscreen and such. You can also fold it up, you have a good seat pad. In This can be useful in areas with many wood ants.”
Bill Kaulitz33, Tokio Hotel-Singer, looking for someone with short or long hair who laughs a lot. “Unfortunately, there is very little going on with me in terms of love. I would like to fall in love. I think there is nothing better than being in love,” said Kaulitz of the German Press Agency in Hamburg. His favorite person has to fulfill an important criterion: “For example, I always fall in love with people who make me laugh.” Visually, he has no specific preferences. “I couldn’t say short hair or long hair. It’s not all that important to me.”
