The two "Krone" reporters David Hofer and Rainer Bortenschlager don't really have much of a mouth on them - but when a Polish muscleman suddenly staged himself as a "speedster" during the analysis interview and crashed their recording, our EURO fighters were briefly taken aback ...

It all started very smoothly. Hofer interviewed "Krone" national team reporter Bortenschlager about Austria's 3:1 victory over Poland. Everything was calm, factual and informative. Then the atmosphere began to build. Austria fans, drunk with victory, crowded into the picture, sang "Immer wieder Österreich" and "Oh, how beautiful it is" - with a lack of synchronicity and accuracy - and joined in with Hofer and "Borti". The best atmosphere. Then he arrived: a - previously unknown - balding young man, discreetly cocky, obviously Polish and, as it would soon turn out, extremely defined and well-trained like a top athlete. He tore off his red-white-red Polish body, puffed himself up according to all the rules of the art of bodybuilding and roared gorilla-like into the krone.tv camera.

"He scared me"
And then he was gone. But he still made an impression. Mr. Hofer and Mr. Bortenschlager looked a little taken aback before they could continue their analysis. "OK," Bortenschlager swallowed: "He scared me," he grinned and added with analytical sharpness: "He's well balanced."

Everything turned out well, by the way. "Borti" is fine, Hofer too. Both will continue their editorial offensive pressing at your service, dear readers and users.
