Sigi's tips: Sporty holidays

Sigi Heinrich

A report is a report. And a news story is a news story made up of facts. From irrefutable certainties and clear information. It should be checked before it sets out to conquer the world of all portals and news channels. But in the case of Thomas Tuchel, the coach at Paris St.Germain in France, things are different. By the way, since Christmas Eve. There is still no official statement regarding the dismissal of the German coach. So the news isn't actually news, but in principle a rumor that had a lot of potential to circulate through the orbit as established fact during the otherwise empty Christmas holidays. The celebration was certainly not contemplative for Tuchel, rather the saying about the “beautiful gift giving” took on a very special meaning for him with the emphasis on giving gifts. Boxing Day: Isn't it possible without football? Overall, this is not an easy time because sport is traditionally on hold, with a few exceptions like in England, where Boxing Day belongs to football. It's called "Boxing Day", which is why even the public television in Germany reports on this matchday in the official news broadcasts. As if it couldn't even be done without football. Luckily, there are still enough boats in the race at the Vendee Globe, the sailing regatta for single-handed sailors, to fill the sports minutes with them. The participants are now in the South Pacific. Sounds nice, but it's more of a tough ride on the waves. We certainly have it more comfortable, even without the South and Pacific, although it hasn't been easy in the last few days if you followed the Corona rules and stayed at home. You had to survive Carmen Nebel, a show that puts an extreme strain on every psyche. I came across the program by chance when Hein Simons, better known as “Heintje”, intoned a duet with his childhood. It was a horror scenario that practically screamed for the remote control. And after all: Sean Connery drove through San Francisco with an American “hammer” and dismantled the city together with Nikolas Cage. Car racing is also a sport in a broader sense. But things really got down to business a little later with “Zorro”. Fencing was on the program. And this “Zorro” with Antonio Banderas is by far the best. It's basically a comedy. California became a state of the USA and later, yes later, the most famous bodybuilder in the world, an Austrian, led the sunny state as governor for two legislative periods. Thank Banderas. In the end, the whole country was one big comedy bar with a moderately talented golfer in the lead role. But there were also flashbacks, now, and many nice repetitions of great sports moments and also some worth seeing magazines about the Olympic Games, for example. You just had to search a little. There was enough time for that. From now on the calm will be gone again. Ski jumpers, alpine skiers, cross-country skiers, even biathletes drive away the holiday feeling. And the ice hockey teams in South Tyrol don't allow themselves a break anyway. So the sporting life is back to us in full. I missed it a bit, if I'm honest. And finally Tuchel again. But a “nice gift”. He is said to have received a million-dollar severance payment from Paris and already has a new club lined up. Nothing is official yet, but many rumors can sometimes unintentionally lead to truth...
