The web video producer and SWR podcaster Finn Lorenzen, 18, known as “Finnel”, grew up in Volkmannsdorf in the Freising district. The music video for his third single “Dorfkinder” was created in May in his old homeland. The song reached number one in the music trend charts on YouTube and TikTok.
SZ: Sport is…?
Finnel: A cool thing – and sometimes murder?
Your current fitness level?
Never this bad. I do far too little sport and shoot far too many videos.
Rim upswing or stopover?
I really don’t know what that means. I’m probably too young for that.
Physical education class was for you?
The only bearable school subject, except when it was gymnastics.
Your personal record?
In terms of sport, there are not many, but I certainly broke the record for the longest time on the bench.
Stadium visitors or TV athletes?
Actually prefer the stadium – at least I think so. After all, I’ve never been there.
Bavaria or sixty?
Bavaria of course. But sixty is okay too.
Your eternal sports idol?
Thomas Müller. A likeable guy and he can kick quite well.
A formative experience?
The time on the substitutes’ bench.
In which discipline would you be an Olympic champion?
Probably not at all, but if so, then in an eating contest.
Which athlete would you like to swap jerseys with?
Lionel Messi. An incredibly talented person who has won every award there is.
Under the heading “Formality” the SZ asks people about their affinity for sport every week. Artists, politicians, captains of industry – just no athletes. It would be boring.
