My Take
Severin Freund is exactly the kind of athlete I respect. Born in 1988 in Lower Bavaria, he became one of Germany's finest ski jumpers, claiming the overall World Cup title in 2015 with 22 individual wins to his name. There is something thrilling about a 185 cm frame soaring off a jump, but what I admire even more is his second act as a TV expert. Plenty of athletes vanish after retirement; Freund chose to stay close to the sport that defined him, guiding the next generation as a storyteller. That continuity of passion is genuinely classy to me.
