Felix Baldauf becomes expert commentator
In the documentary series "Head in a pinch", viewers in recent weeks have been able to follow wrestlers Felix Baldauf, Grace Bullen, Stig-André Berge and Morten Thoresen and their preparations for the Olympic Games and the World Cup.
However, the World Cup at home in Oslo is without Felix Baldauf, who has to wander about with long-term injury problems.
Now instead he will be NRK's expert commentator in the studio during the World Cup broadcast on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Baldauf says it will be difficult to sit and watch his teammates instead of being there with them, but is glad to have the opportunity to be in the studio.
- I know how hard boys and girls work and what they can achieve. It will be great to see boys and girls in action and hope we can enjoy good performances, he says.
More than 800 athletes from 80 countries will gather at the Jordal Amphitheater for the World Cup, which will run for a total of nine days from October 2, but where Norway's greatest hope for medals will first be on the mat from Wednesday 6 October. Baldauf is now excited about the implementation of the event.
– It seems completely unreal to have it here Oslo the world's biggest sports stars. I'm really looking forward to seeing the atmosphere during the championship, he says.
