All hell broke loose at the "Krone" Healthy Days in Pasching's PlusCity when Marko Arnautovic arrived. And the football star himself was surprised by the welcome he received. In the morning, Philipp Jelinek led a gym session - and many visitors took the opportunity to do a morning workout.

Marko Arnautovic was happy to put in the extra hours. The ÖFB striker arrived on time for his autograph session at PlusCity - and even volunteered to work overtime. "I didn't think I'd be so popular," joked "Arnie" and was available for numerous selfies. "Can you still buy a sausage roll without being recognized?" asked a young fan. "Probably yes, but I'll send my brother," winked the Austrian team player. Incidentally, his wife Sarah didn't get to enjoy a present yesterday, even though it was her birthday. After all, Arnautovic spent almost three hours in the shopping center in Pasching. "But she didn't want anything, just to spend time with her friends," said the 35-year-old.

Philipp Jelinek's gym session was attended by numerous fellow athletes.

Traveled all the way from Tyrol
Alexander and Simon came all the way from Tyrol for the autograph session. "We watched the match against Kazakhstan in the stadium. And of course we also wanted photos with him. I took three jerseys with me and have to get them signed for my family," says Simon.

Breakfast with a sporty group of ladies
At nine o'clock in the morning, numerous young-at-heart were already at the live broadcast of "Philipp bewegt". "I wanted to experience him up close. He has a great banter that I like. And I take part in his program almost every day," said Friedrich Kiesenhofer. The sprightly pensioner was just one of many who didn't want to miss the gym session with Philipp Jelinek. After the exercise session, the 56-year-old took time for his fellow participants and sat together with a group of ladies over breakfast. "Contact with my fans is important to me. And I now know many of them personally," said Jelinek, clearly feeling at ease.
