For Klaus Schormann, "everything awesome, everything was great" - but with this opinion, the tour president of the World Association is quite alone. The five-fight can and may not exist in the current form.
First consequences did not last long. One day after her questionable appearance at the Drama Around Annika Schlu, Olympia was finished for five-battle national coach Kim Raisner. The Weltverband UIPM disqualified the 48-year-old with the grounds, Raisner beat the Horse Saint Boy with the Fist on Friday. Such an action, according to the official statement, is in clear contradiction to the regulations of the association.
A few hours earlier, the team management of "Team D" Raisner had already deducted, in men's competition they will not be in use at the course of the course, it was said. DOSB President Alfons Hörmann spoke of a "joint decision" and a "right step".
DOSB calls for control changes
The associations remained no other choice after the scandalous events in the partial discipline. Both the tears overstreamed Annika Schlu as well as the panic Saint Boy had no control more about the situation, the Raisner with the call "Ha's really really busy, really lean on it. The video went viral, the pictures ran up and down, the social networks exploded.
The DOSB demanded as a logical consequence of events a change in the rules of controversial sub-discipline jumping rides in the five-battle. "The international rules requires urgent overhaul," said Hörmann. The processes are "unacceptable" and would endanger the animal welfare: "It hurts the reputation of sport and athletes."
World Association Amazed with Statement: "Everything was awesome"
Klaus Schormann (75) had a remarkably different view of things. "Everything was awesome, everything was great," the President of the World Association is quoted on the homepage of Uipm: "Maybe there were a few moments that you can say that they were not so beautiful, but (...) it There is no reason for the athletes to complain. It is only on the athletes themselves, if they were not successful in some parts of the competition. "
Schormann is likely to be alone with this opinion, even though Annika Schleu did not necessarily send the impression of a sovereign athlete in its emotional outbreak in the saddle. The rules in the pentathlon must be adapted and redesigned, which also calls for the German equestrian association Fn. "Our understanding of the riding egg lies in the partnership between man and horse and not to look at the horse as a sports equipment," said FN managing director Dennis Peiler.
Annika Schleu "personally insulted and offended"
The German Association of Modern Fighters (DVMF) has also noted "urgent need for action". In addition, "it is decided that an athlete is personally insulted and insulted," the DVMF "wishes a constructive-facts debate about the modern pulp battle".
Athletes Germany also demanded a fair treatment for Annika Schleu. "The infants and partly open hatred, which opposes her (...) in the social networks, is unacceptable and condensed on the harshest," said it in a statement on Saturday.
Criticism of the incidents in the competition, however, is "completely legitimate and should reason to be a debate about changes to the ride regiment. The World Association UIPM must now act to ensure the protection of the animals and adequate competition conditions".
