Zitat von captain hook
Solange Dinge kursieren wie die gut gelaunten Bilder von Skippers am Tropf und den entsprechenden Berichten verliert hier nur einer. Und das keine Diskussion, sonder höchstens seine Glaubwürdigkeit. Und das ist der Sport.

Gut gelaunt ist er vermutlich, weil es ihm endlich wieder halbwegs gut geht.
"Despite taking some time before he crossed the line to celebrate with some of his fans,
Skipper was shattered by his effort.
"
That’s the worst I’ve ever felt after a race," he said. "I think it’s because of the hilliness of the run course – running down the hills really kills your legs and you’re digging in on the uphills. I got off the bike in sixth and I was trying to make the podium and when I knew I had a chance at second place I tried to give it everything."
"When I got into second place, I didn’t know where I was and, if he (Germany's Maurice Clavel) was with me, I didn’t want to look behind, because it’s the worst thing to do – it just encourages the guys behind. The spectators were telling me he was right behind me. I thought he was 15 seconds behind and that it could come down to a sprint finish,
so I just gave it everything. The effort took its toll at the end.""

Nach reinem Spaß klingt das nicht.
PS:
Auch mir geht es oft kurz nach dem Finish weitaus schlechter als kurz davor.
