"The training methods are already decrepit & agrave; several years. Functioned at the time of Uschi Disl, but things have changed and now there are more & ugrave; adequate all''attuale average level of the World Cup.
To & ograve; in the federation, today as when I competed, & nbsp; not c '& egrave; the will & agrave; to think differently and to approach new schemes. & nbsp;
Do you know why & eacute; at the end of my career I have never participated in a rally? Perch & eacute; the federation has always discouraged the 'individualism, the engineers wanted allenassimo us all the same way so as to make comparisons on our fitness.
Too bad that by following their methods after two weeks of training camp & met agrave; Girls were bad.
I have always been un''individualista, and I have always trained under the supervision of Bernhard Kr & ouml, ll with tables different from those of the rest of the team. If I had done in their own way and I had prepared as I would not have wanted the federation got all the hits I got.
Things are much more & ugrave; difficult when you do not get success and I am confident that the Fed wants to return the team to the level of a time when it was the pi & ugrave; strongest in the world, but he wants to do with the methods passed.
I think that the decision to replace Rich Gro & szlig; Tobias Reiter was the right one. Our team has athletes with very different characteristics and c '& egrave; need a coach pi & ugrave; in tune with the youth. There are girls that need to be followed step by step and fully supporting. "
The criticism of Magdalena Neuner, now far removed from the vicissitudes of the past and become a mother a few months ago, did not fall on deaf ears.
Karin Orgeldinger, became in the spring, the new head of the Federation for the biathlon and Nordic disciplines, has announced that it will encounter agrave &; the twenty-seven Bavarian to hear in detail the views of the champions of Wallg & auml, u, only hinted at in this outburst about his past that would also reflect the current state of the Teutonic team.
