Christian Ramota (born April 14, 1973 in Cologne-Lindenthal ) is a former German handball goalkeeper .
Career
Ramota only started playing handball at the comparatively late age of 15, but three years later he was playing for VfL Gummersbach and made the leap into the professional team in his second season. He made his international debut on November 26, 1993 in Karlsruhe against Switzerland. His greatest successes were winning the German championship with TBV Lemgo (2003) and the 2004 European Championship title with the national team. He also took part in the 2004 Olympic Games, where he won the silver medal with the team and was awarded the silver laurel leaf on March 16, 2005. Ramota prepared intensively for his later professional life during his active career. After finishing his sporting career in 2008 and 2009, the trained office administrator and studied business administration completed a trainee program for franchisees at McDonald’s in Switzerland. Today he runs three restaurants in this chain in St. Gallen , Gossau SG and Zuzwil SG (Thurau Süd motorway service station on the A 1 ).
In September 2010 Ramota celebrated a surprising comeback in his adopted home St. Gallen after two years of abstinence from handball. Because TSV St. Otmar St. Gallen lost its regular goalkeeper through injury, Ramota jumped in as a substitute goalkeeper for four months.
Others
Ramota is nicknamed "Eros". This name came from his former teammate Alfred Zlattinger , who came up with this nickname in connection with the surname Ramota, as it sounds like the name Eros Ramazzottis .
