Günter Teske

Günter Teske (born November 10, 1933 in Berlin ) is a German racing cyclist , sports journalist and writer .

Life

Günter Teske did an apprenticeship as a construction carpenter , but did not practice this profession and instead went to the People's Police to practice road cycling as a competitive athlete . He was a member of the GDR - National and participated in the 1954 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Solingen part. He later worked as a sports editor and from 1967 as a freelance writer and journalist for Deutsche Sportecho , the sports website of the Neue Zeit and the Berliner Zeitung .

In many of Teske's fantastic stories, his many years of experience as an athlete and sports reporter can be felt, for example when, in the story A Talented Center Forward , he lets the human ambition of ordinary footballers encounter a robot in human form, which drives all athletes to despair with its one hundred percent fair game, or describes a very special attempt at fraud when in Der Vierfache a figure skater from the year 2190 travels back in time to finally win a championship in 1985.
