Ramona ("Wild Dragon") Kühne, who
won WIBF interim light welterweight title last October with
a points win over Loli Muñoz, has been elected Honorary Captain
of professional cycling's Stadler Racing Team. Rather less
arduous than her usual appearances, Kühne's first official act
in her new capacity will be to cut a ribbon to mark the start of
the new season, whereupon she will be presented with a team
jersey.
All this will take place this Saturday at a leading
Berlin cycling store ( Zweirad-Stadler, Königin-Elisabeth-Str.
9-23, 14059 Berlin-Charlottenburg), where it is not too much to
assume the WIBF champion will also be signing autographs. "Kühn"
(feminine form "kühne"), incidentally, means "bold, daring,
fearless..." in German, making it a not altogether inappropriate
name for a boxer, but I don't think it's a nom de guerre.
The "Wild Dragon" bit, on the other hand, may be the
product of some publicist or sponsor's fertile imagination.
Something to do with beer, if I remember rightly.
