German medal hopes
The greatest hope for gold from a German point of view is long jumper Malaika Mihambo. However, the world champion still has to worry about her start in Munich due to a corona infection.

Emma Hinze wants to ride her bike to the top on the track, Yannick Flohé and Hannah Meul want to climb for the medals. In addition, the table tennis team counts on chances. In 2018, Germany collected a total of 53 medals (13 gold, 17 silver, 23 bronze) and finished fifth in the medal table.

So far we’ve been spared when it comes to corona diseases in big regattas.
