Athletics: Cousin is the biggest gold hope
With sea noise, drum rhythms and bodies, German ligatants have been worn onto the Olympic Medal Camps in Tokyo. "I wish you that you do not limit you, with the necessary looseness and crowned by success," said Idriss Gonschinska, CEO of the Association, on a team meeting in the training camp on the coast in Japanese Miyazaki. "I'm glad if I can finally let out the whole positive energy I've collected in the competition," said Oleg Zernikel, the National Staff High-Master.
Whether these motivation arts give the 89 toplex athlete the necessary Olympic boost? After the big words, Friday must follow at Kasumigaoka National Stadium (large) deeds. The balance sheet of Rio 2016 with twice gold and once bronze should be less orientation because requesting to offer in Tokyo. "I see the opportunity to cut better in Tokyo," said Annett Stone, head coach of the German Athletics Association. "That's important for the perception of our sport."
DLV President Jürgen Kessing wishes more countable than five years ago. "Medals I do not want to predict, but hope as an optimist on a more successful performance in Tokyo." The 2012 Games in London would be a bar with eight medals (1 gold, 4 silver, 3 bronze). In 2008, in Beijing, it was dramatically bad on Asian ground in Beijing.
Several prominent failures
In the German team there are a number of athletes, which are medal candidates, but also prominent failures such as the Olympic Champion Thomas Röhler (Speer) and Christoph Harting (Discus) or the ex-world champion David Storl (ball) and Raphael Wooden Deppecone (Stabhoch). The former EM-Third Gina gapsemper missed the Olympia norm, but benefited from the failure of two sprint colleagues and may now race in Tokyo.
DLV-PopAvorit number one is spearper Johannes Vetter. The ex-world champion leads the world annual best list with 96.29 and thus almost ten meters lead. "The goal is gold, very clear!", The 28-year-old reaffirmed the right to the Olympic victory. Showtime for cousin is on the last day of the Olympic Athletics (August 7). A pole position for a medal has also spear-colleague Christin Hussong, which starts as the second best thrower in the world 2021.
Doubts are there if the long-jumper Malaika Mihambo as at the World Cup title win 2019, where she landed at 7.30 meters, again such a huge set succeeds. So far, only 6.92 meters to beech and six seven-meter jumpers in front of them are in the start list. "I do not write off," underlined the 27-year-old "athlete of the year".
No big tones suggests the second world champion of Doha, the Tenkämpfer Niklas Kaul. On the one hand, there are security, "once at the top of a World Cup" to have been on the podge ", to another, it increased the pressure. Instead of calling a goal, he says: "We start all with zero points." For sevenkiller Carolin Schäfer, his training partner, this also applies. She wants to fight a medal despite forced break through a Corona vaccination reaction. "She does not fly to Tokyo to be tenth," Stein said.
Yes, at the Olympic Games I want a medal
Gesa Krause
Ambitious and with great ambition two runners go to the Olympic races. "Yes, I want a medal at the Olympic Games," said the 29-year-old World Cup third and obstacle runner Gesa Krause. Before Tokyo plays, she spent eight months in altitude training camps to keep up with the Africans.
Even Konstanze Klosterhallen has done everything in her US adhesion home to be over 10,000 meters in the front. Too much of? "I've completely solved my expectations because it's hard to assess where I'm standing right now," said the World Cup third over 5000 meters. Pelvic and back problems affected a long time.
The role of the door opener for successful games have Christina Schwanitz and Daniel Jasinski. For the 35-year-old ex-world champion in ballpoints, the qualification could become a hurdle. At 18.63 meters, it is 25th place of the world rankings. A herniated disc broken in March did not allow more (previously) this season. It does not want to write off Chef Trainer Stein: "With the shape she is on the ascending branch."
In the Olympia-Third Jasinski, however, it's almost no longer before Tokyo. With 67.47 meters thrown this year, he belongs to the top ten of the discus world. "My physical values are good as never. Now I have to implement that," he said. "But I'm very confident."
