Trichromatic Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 Quote "It's probably too difficult with these people at SAI or AFI. I don't know if it's a lack of knowledge or ignorance. Besides camps or competitions, even when we ask via our nutritionist for supplements for our athletes, we don't get the right stuff." Hohn also seemed unhappy about how Neeraj Chopra underwent elbow surgery in 2019 despite him being not in favour of it. "The decision about his surgery… I wasn't really happy with it, but people around him thought they knew the best for him. But even they don't know what other options are possible because they are not reading anything…no books, no reports, no articles. So how will they know what's the best for this wear-and-tear problem? But anyway, people around him seem to know what's best for him and how to throw a javelin." Uwe Hohn also went on to allege that he and biomechanics expert Klaus Bartonietz were blackmailed and forced into signing a new contract at the beginning of April 2021.https://thebridge.in/tokyo-2020/india-javelin-coach-uwe-hohn-blasts-afi-sai-olympics-22142 Old article.
Trichromatic Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 Hohn can’t hold the country to ransom .. Quote “He tried to push the government. He can’t push the government. This is the government of India. He has been running a racket. All these guys think that we will succumb under their pressure. We don’t succumb to anybody’s pressure. You are dealing with a country, you aren’t dealing with any individual. He can’t hold the country to a ransom,” Sumariwalla said..“Of late, his focus was also not on the Indian throwers. He wanted to go to South Africa. The reason to go to South Africa was because he wanted to train somebody in South Africa. We are paying him a ridiculous amount of money not to train other people. That’s what the athletes have also alleged. His frustration was that he couldn’t go,” he said. Quote Neeraj left him in 2018. He is already in Portugal and is training with Dr Klaus Bartonietz, our biomechanics expert. Annu Rani and Shivpal (Singh) don’t want to train with him. The throwers have come up with their statements. It doesn’t affect anybody. So what value is he (Hohn) to us? Why should we increase his salary? He wanted a ridiculous increase in his salary, ridiculous bonuses. We can’t give that.” Read more at:http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/83610304.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst
