Sailing at Kiel Week: Kiel's Olympic Dream Takes Shape
- *
The midway point of the 131st Kiel Week bustled with excitement as the city's Olympic ambitions unfurled. While the Olympic sailing medal races heated up in the afternoon, politicos from Hamburg and Kiel, alongside DSV President Mona Küppers and Kiel Week's sports director Dirk Ramhorst, seized the opportunity to strategize their Olympic bid for 2036, 2040, or 2044.
With Berlin, Munich, and the Rhine-Ruhr region hot on their heels, Hamburg stands as the notable contender in the national competition to host the Olympic Games. Unlike her rivals who refer Keil and Rostock-Warnemünde as potential sailing allies, Hamburg sets her sights solely on Kiel.
The Hamburg Map: "Closer Connections"
"Selecting Kiel as our sailing hub was a no-brainer," explained Hamburg's State Councilor Christoph Holstein. "Our Hamburg-Kiel concept revolves around the theme of 'Closer Connections,' allowing us to spotlight sailing on the water and its undeniable appeal." Kiel Week's sports director Dirk Ramhorst echoed this sentiment: "We'll illustrate the sport's allure in authentic fashion."
DSV President Mona Küppers stopped short of confirming a sailing venue for the Olympic bid but hinted at her preference: "We're fortunate to have a plethora of locations in Germany where Olympic sailing competitions can take place. The fact that we consistently expand our presence in Kiel should give you a clue about what I'd be very, very pleased with."
Kiel's Mayor Ulf Kämpfer outlined three compelling reasons why his city would make a formidable sailing partner: " The palpable enthusiasm among the citizens," "the proximity of the national sailing team's base,” and "the global acclaim enjoyed by Kiel's sailing venue."

This joint bid indicates a strategic union of Hamburg's robust infrastructure and capabilities with Kiel's celebrated sailing facilities to create a compelling and sustainable Olympic experience. By capitalizing on Kiel's established reputation in the sport, exemplified by events like the Kieler Woche - the world's largest sailing event, the duo aims to position northern Germany as a premier destination for the Summer Olympics.
The Commission has also adopted a proposal for a Council Regulation on the establishment of a European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, highlighting the city's commitment to coordinated and sustainable efforts, much like the joint bid between Hamburg and Kiel for the 2036, 2040, or 2044 Olympics. The sports director of Kiel Week, Dirk Ramhorst, plans to illustrate the allure of Olympic sailing in an authentic fashion, reflecting the undeniable appeal of maritime sports, promising a compelling Olympic experience akin to the world-renowned Kieler Woche, Europe's largest sailing event.
