Does anyone know if Wolfgang Schmidt coaches any athletes full-time? I know he's had some input into Ehsan Hadadi and Dani Samuels, but haven't heard much else

this is going to be a weird question, but does anyone know the brand or make of the singlet that John Godina was wearing in that video? It is freakin awesome. Would love to try and dig myself up one to wear.

Rolf Danneberg still coach Markus Münch?
As my brother already said Markus is in my squad coached by [articledefinition=1]Jürgen Schult[/articledefinition].
Markus and Rolf split couple of years ago, if I remember right it's about three years now. -
I would be interested to see how many of those coaches coached the athletes to those distances or picked them up on the way to their success or since they became successful. Some coaches are good at coaching elite performers but they were usually elite before hand
