We can be happy and proud. We started well and finished strongly, our athletes showing great character.
Often our athletes gave their best performances in the last minutes of competition and so we are still expecting some more exciting competitions. Already, we are proud of our results and reached our goal to be one of the best countries.
In a matter of hours we will appeal the decision. The CAS is not the way to go. It can't overrule the decision of a German court. We will make the best efforts to ensure that the preparation of the athletes doesn't suffer.
