Why do so many athletes emigrate?

German Steiner, male 105 kg weightlifting champion, holds a photo of his dead wife on the podium.

On the evening of August 19, German athlete Steiner won the last gold medal in the enumeration. However, Steiner, a steel man standing on the podium, was in tears and kissed his wife's photo. "I dedicate the gold medal to my late wife Susan." It turns out that there is a touching story behind this gold medal. ...

I fell in love with my wife at first sight and became a German citizen.

Steiner was born in Vienna on 1982. When he grew up, he embarked on the road of weightlifting like his father. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Steiner, 22, won the seventh place. The Austrian media are quite dissatisfied with this, claiming that "Steiner is a dispensable athlete". Steiner was very annoyed to see such a report.

By chance, Steiner and Susan from Germany met unexpectedly and they fell in love at first sight. Steiner, who was despised in Austria, decided to follow Susan to live in Zwick, a small town in eastern Germany. After entering the marriage hall with Susan in early 2005, Steiner immediately submitted an application for German citizenship and became a German citizen.

After marriage, the two loved each other. Susan took good care of Steiner with diabetes and helped him through every difficulty with selfless love. Steiner and his wife Susan agreed to take part in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Since their wedding day in 2005, they have been saving money for a trip to Beijing. Susan will also cheer for Steiner in Beijing.

When his wife died, Steiner turned grief into strength.

There are unexpected events in the sky. In July 2007, Susan suffered a serious car accident. Before she died, she told Steiner her greatest wish in life: "Dear, how much I want to go to Beijing with you. Don't give up because of me. You must go to Beijing. I believe you will win the gold medal. "
