Fun at the Olympics? “There’s definitely more that can be done.”

First of all, a fact: A few days ago, the operator of the well-known dating app “Tinder” announced that use of the app in Pyeongchang had increased by 1850 percent since the start of the Olympic Games. So there seems to be a lot of dating going on in the Olympic Village.

In an interview, ex-ski racer Maria Höfl-Riesch, who travels to South Korea as an ARD ski expert and has experienced many Olympic Games as an athlete, said this with a smile. “I have little experience with that, no idea. Most will concentrate on sport.” Exclusively? "Perhaps. Some people only have one or two competitions, but then stay for a while because they want to experience everything that goes along with it and also want to celebrate. There’s definitely more to be done.”

“Not uncommon in the ski circuit” In the ski circuit itself, shenanigans are not uncommon. In any case, Höfl-Riesch described this in detail in her autobiography “Straight Ahead” six years ago. “I don't know who brought the word into circulation, but it keeps coming around every now and then: porn circus, as a variation of ski circus. It's not like everyone who checks into a hotel alone spends the night alone. Some who have families at home seem to see the time as a welcome change from everyday married life," wrote Höfl-Riesch and emphasized: "Trainers with physiotherapists, service people with athletes, there are all possible combinations, and they are almost always cross-border As the saying goes, fishing in your own pond is actually forbidden.”
