German medal hopes
After the German team finished first in the medal table at the 2022 European Championships in Munich, a year later at the World Championships in Budapest there was a big disappointment: In 49 decisions, the DLV team did not win a single medal – it was the worst performance by a German team ever at a World Athletics Championships. Nevertheless, some German athletes are again heading to Rome as favorites for a medal at the continental showdown – or at least as defending champions.

:The old Malaika again
After her injury break, Malaika Mihambo landed back in the world elite with 6.93 meters. But the 30-year-old faces unusually strong competition at the German Indoor Championships – to the delight of everyone involved.

Stars of the European Athletics Championships
Even though the big stars from the USA, Jamaica and the African countries are missing, there are some top international stars competing at the European Athletics Championships in Rome. An overview of the favorites:
- Armand Duplantis (Pole vault, 24 years old, Sweden): Probably the superstar of the European Championships. Since the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, he has always won gold at the Olympics, World Championships or European Championships. In April 2024 in China, he improved the world record for the eighth time, which currently stands at 6.24 meters (Pole vault final on 12 June at 20:20).

Sweden’s pole vaulter Armand Duplantis sets another world record at the start of the season.
- Jakob Ingebrigtsen (Middle and long distance running, 23 years old, Norway): Won Olympic gold in the 1500 metres in Tokyo. He has also won the 5000 metres world championship twice and won gold in the 1500 and 5000 metres at the last two European Championships. He also holds the indoor world record in the 1500 metres (5000-meter final on June 8th at 22:28, 1500-meter final on June 12th at 22:26).
