Our students on their way to the Olympic Games in Paris
Participating in the Olympics and being a student at university – does that go together? Our exceptionally talented students athletes give their best in both areas. Now that the Olympic Games are just around the corner, we asked them how they do it. They say: It is possible but it requires a lot of strength and structure, and many supporters. Read here which students have decided to compete in Paris, when we should keep our fingers crossed for them but also how it feels like when Olympic dreams do not come true.
Linus Müller has been to Tokyo with the field hockey team and narrowly missed out on a medal. He hopes for a medal this year.
Lisa Nippgen is one of the fastest women in the country and wanted to compete in short-distance running.
Field hockey player Raphael Hartkopf did everything he could to participate in Paris but missed out on a nomination.
Sonja Zimmermann wants to travel to Paris with the women's field hockey team and go for a medal.
Tobias Buck-Gramcko is competing in track cycling and hopes that he won't injure himself before the Olympics.
