The successor to 2019 winner Angelina Köhler (swimming) was Julia Krajewski. She was the first woman to win a gold medal in eventing at the Olympic Games. “I actually didn’t know that,” admitted Krajewski afterwards: “I think it was about time.”
There was praise from national coach Hans Melzer. “She really is a worthy Olympic champion. That was riding at its finest,” he said and enthused: “She deserved it. She was outstanding in all three sub-disciplines.” Krajewski was also able to once again underline her class with the team in Tokyo with a fourth place. In 2021 she rode with “Mandy” to the German championship title.
“Now I have medals everywhere in the team”
Successor to 2019 winner Arnd Peiffer (biathlon) was Igor Wandtke. He fights in the weight class up to 73 kilos for the Hannover judo team and has been one of the best in the world for years. His biggest success last year was the bronze medal at the 2021 Olympic Games in the team mixed competition.
“That’s why I get up every morning. World Championships, European Championships and Olympics – now I have medals everywhere in my team,” he said happily. His big goal: He wants to win an individual medal at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. “It’s not getting any easier, of course, my bones aren’t getting any better.” At the World Judo Masters in Doha last year he made it to third place.
The Fredenbeck team was honored as the best team in 2021. The vaulting group was able to climb to the top of the podium twice at the World Championships this year in their sport: gold in the compulsory and the freestyle. The female and male team members of different age groups are accompanied by trainer and lunge leader Gesa Bührig.
Weil also said he wasn’t “a great ball-walker,” but he missed the sport’s ball. And what about 2023? “I’m a prime minister, but I’m not a prophet,” Weil said. “I think it’s up to us. Let’s wait and see, I would be happy.”
