Unfortunately, Wagner's brother Moritz will give the tournament a miss due to a pesky knee injury. "Without Moritz, I still reckon we've got a fucking awesome team this year!" confirmed Franz Wagner. The dynamic duo took home the World Cup trophy with the DBB team in 2023. Last year, the crew finished a close fourth at the Olympic Games.
