In Austria, like almost everywhere in Western Europe'', people can contract the same sex civil unions, and the two have formalized their relationship before the law.
The 2011 world champion'' is the only jumper to have made their homosexuality. In the light of his marriage and the fact that the female jumping will be included for the first time in the program of the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014 it is natural to make a connection with the standard Russian anti-gay propaganda already openly criticized by many athletes during the recent World Athletics Championships in Moscow.
Iraschko, when asked about it a couple of weeks before the wedding, he said: "I find it extremely ridiculous and discriminatory law. Believe it is tragic that there is such a thing in 2013. The situation makes me very sad and I am relieved to think of not live in a nation like that. I can not understand how a country with a rule such as this have been able to obtain the necessary votes for the organization of the Olympic Games'', evidently were decisive economic reasons. "
The Olympic race of female jumping will take place in just over five months, but the veteran Austrian at the moment is much more focused on recovery from the severe injury suffered in January that the ideological battles. Even Daniela and Isabel have postponed their honeymoon in the coming weeks as the jumper will be involved in training and therapies for the injured knee.
