Very few people know that saving lives is also a competitive sport.
At the World Games, the world games for non-Olympic sports, German athletes won gold just six times in this highly prestigious category.
On the other hand, David Hasselhoff is just a poser.
Actually, the performance rescuers don't want to be lumped together with the muscle man, who always carried a red buoy around with him in "Baywatch" – or maybe better: pool.
But it doesn't help, Hasselhoff, who turns 70 this Sunday, will forever remain the most popular lifeguard in the universe.
What else does he have to do with sports?
In 2004 he played the saxon coach of a German team in dodgeball, a kind of dodgeball, with the battle name "Blitzkrieg" in the cinema comedy "Full on the Nuts".
An outdated gag.
Anyway, there's a movie about the beau with the flokati, in which he's walking on the beach and teasingly shouts at a passing woman, "Shall I save you?" No need to be outraged: self-mockery is the first step to wisdom.
