Is that Jacob?


No, but I think that's his wife. :hmm:

:lmfao:

My wife categorically denies that the woman in the picture is her.  Given that I know for a fact she was nowhere near Whistler or Cypress or any other venue with snow in the last few days I'm forced to accept her statement.

Also, it doesn't really look like her.

Virtually all German medalists work for either army, police or customs, i.e. as pseudo civil servants that are basically paid for their sport by the state. Is the same true in other countries as well?

Not in U.S.  Here, they work in hardware stores like the Home Depot.

I just read a bit more on that. Apparently the German government spends up to 250 million Euro per year on professional olympic level sport. WTF. More than 1000 sportsmen and -women are currently "serving" in various state organizations but actually only practice for their respective sport.

Yes - except we call it "lottery money".
