Germany Sends Several Medal Hopefuls to Swim in Paris | ABS-CBN News

The German swimming team is looking forward to the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris.

Being in great spirits and shape, the team includes several medal hopefuls, currently preparing for the tournament at the Olympic swimming pool in Berlin.

The German Swimming Association (DSV) will have a defending champion in the water – Florian Wellbrock, gold medalist in the 10 km open water swim. The DSV had not been winning international medals for several years, but the reigning champion sees a turnaround in this trend.

“We’ve always been able to win medals in recent years and this year we have Angelina Koehler, Isabel Gose, Lukas Maertens, myself, and hopefully a few others up our sleeve who definitely have what it takes to swim at the forefront of the competition,” says Wellbrock.
