Gold Without Friendship

At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Boris Becker and Michael Stich won the gold medal in men’s doubles. In the final they beat Wayne Ferreira and Piet Norval. The two Germans did not get along. In Barcelona they did not sit at the same table even once. Becker said it simply: Wir mögen uns eben nicht. We just don’t like each other. After both had gone out in the singles, they had the same goal, and they reached it.
