Younger German athletes are soft.
Says who?
Says Jan Ullrich.
Jan, who won the Tour de France back in -- when was it? -- oh yeah, 1997, told the German magazine Max that Germany's younger generation of athletes lack the courage and committment to succeed in sport.
Said Ullrich: "We're always playing down our pain. Those who judge me have no idea how much pain we go through every day. They would scream for three years non-stop if they only got a feel just once for the pain we endure every day."
OUCH!
A prodcut of Communist sports schooling, he may in fact be right about the gen y's. Media hecklers however come with the turf Jan, get over it and sob over your $3M contract.
