She had to take a two-year break due to the pandemic, and on January 20th the gala night of sports invited again to the Brucknerhaus in Linz. Once again, the traditional event, which is organized by OÖ Nachrichten together with LIVA and with the support of the main sponsor Oberbank, offers an opportunity to personally experience many greats of the sports world, some in new roles, with unexpected talents.
For example, Hans Krankl, who celebrates his 70th birthday on February 14, is not only a guest as a football legend, but can also be seen singing on stage. As “Johann K.” he rocks the middle hall with his band “Monti Beton”. “When he sings, Krankl is very disciplined and just as ambitious as he was as a footballer. Before a performance, he trains like before a game,” says event jack-of-all-trades Ralph “The Voice” Schader, who, as Krankl’s companion for years, has been his musical companion spotlight on dribbling.

“Dancing Stars”-tested guests
Ski double world champion Lizz Görgl has even found a second mainstay in music: she has already brought eight songs into the charts. The former Dancing Stars participant will present samples of her passion away from the slopes in the Brucknerhaus. Krankl, on the other hand, consistently refuses to swing his leg: According to his own statements, he has refused to participate in the ORF show as “Dancing Star” at least ten times: “I’m not a dancer. I can’t be funny when I’m feel uncomfortable,” says the “Goleador”.

That certainly doesn’t apply to her: moderator Silvia Schneider, who made it to the final with the “Dancing Stars”. She has remained true to her discovered love for the dance floor as a competitive dancer. At her side as moderator in the Brucknerhaus: Ö3 microman Tom Walek. The musical prelude to the gala night will be provided by Laakirchner singer Eric Papilaya with a medley of his favorite songs. An invitation to dance comes again from the proven pt art orchestra, before the local heroes of the “Folkshilfe” start playing at midnight.

News from “Folkshilfe” in March
When the troop (“Mir laungts”) performed at the athletes’ gala in 2018, they heated up the smaller hall at 10 p.m. Since then the band has been on the road to success and will present their new album “Vivre” on March 31st. “We felt a stronger urge to write cool songs, to focus on writing, to tell stories that people can relate to, maybe even stories from my life that affected me,” says Folkshilfe-Sänger Florian Ritt and attests the new album “much more substance and depth” than previous songs.
