World champion Lars Riedel throwing in Algers (© IAAF)
The German National Olympic Committee has nominated 79 athletes for the Olympic Games’ athletics events. Neither of the German Olympic Champions from Sydney 2000, Nils Schumann and Heike Drechsler, have made the team.
While 800 m runner Nils Schumann did not even make his comeback after two operations on his Achilles tendon last year, Heike Drechsler was clearly not in the form to qualify. The long jumper, who has announced the end of her career after this season, has produced a season’s best of just 6.39 m in 2004. Drechsler may still compete in a couple of meetings at a later stage of the season, but will miss the Olympics.
Four athletes were nominated on the condition that they can prove their fitness in time after injury problems: Lars Riedel (Discus), Charles Friedek (Triple Jump), Claudia Gesell (800 m) and Grit Breuer (4x400 m).
