important ? don't know... dirk - ranking #12...
11.19.04
German television network ZDF released the results of a survey taken of German viewers, asking their opinion regarding the top German athletes of the past century. Dirk came in at #12.  While some may be surprised that Dirk didn't place higher, it is worth remembering that basketball is not one of the more familiar or popular sports in Germany, a country far more oriented toward soccer, tennis, and Formula-1 racing. It is also noteworthy that Dirk placed ahead of such football luminaries as Rudi Völler (virtually a national hero) and Jürgen Klinsmann, skijumper Sven Hannawald, and skater Katarina Witt. Formula-1 superstar Michael Schumacher was the overall first place winner. The complete list can be found in PDF format here (must have Adobe Acrobat to read). was already translated... here s the source. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

RE:important ? obviously not... dirk #12 - top german athletes
Damn.. I live in Europe and I know quite much about German sport. But no way that Dirk isnt in top10. For example Ballack is good soccer player but damn, he is just one year star and not more. And I still think that ZDF charts are quite inconsequentials.
Dirk at least #10 would be be ok. |

Klinsman should be ahead of Dirk.
