  1. He did not do it for Germany (Representing country), he did not do it for Austria (His birth country). He did it for her❤

  2. One of the best Moments in olympics? Nah, that's one of the best Moments in Sport History. ❤ I saw it live Back then, i cried my eyes Out. I See it today on YouTube, still crying. Steiner du gottverdammte Legende. Liebe geht raus. Du hast dich unsterblich gemacht ❤

  3. The video is shown again and again. I still feel it. It was the most emotional thing I've ever seen! His coach shouted to him: "You only have this one chance! Prove it to everyone!!!…" That moment has shaped me to this day, and believe it or not, it made me who I am today! Never give up! Believe in yourself and don't give a damn about what others say or think!😮
