Seven combatants from Jena advance to the final round competing alongside global celebrities
In the lead-up to the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, two German athletes are generating a lot of excitement - Clara Seidel and Leo Neugebauer.
Clara Seidel, a 20-year-old Thuringian, recently set a personal best of 13.97 seconds in the 100m hurdles. This impressive time was achieved at the "Finals" in Dresden, a multi-event athletics competition that saw the participation of several German athletes.
Seidel, a student at the University of Jena, also excelled in other events at the "Finals". She achieved a personal best of 5134 points, a top performance in the heptathlon. Her long jump distance of 5.78m and javelin throw of 35.13m were also noteworthy.
Meanwhile, Leo Neugebauer, a native of Goerlitz, is a Paris Olympics Silver Medalist and one of the world stars at the "Finals" in Dresden. He tested some disciplines for the Leichtathletik-WM in Tokio to prepare for the upcoming championships. Neugebauer, who is a decathlete, announced that he will stay in Tokio a bit longer after the World Athletics Championships and "eat a lot of sushi."
Serina Riedel, currently the best German heptathlete with 6322 points, missed out in Dresden due to completing a demanding competition with bronze at the U23 European Championships in Bergen. However, she will be participating in the World Athletics Championships in Tokio, along with German champion Sandrina Sprengel (6315).
Riedel, who is 22 years old and hails from Zeulenroda, is an idol for Seidel. As Seidel continues to train and compete, she looks up to Riedel's achievements as inspiration for her own journey in athletics.
As the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo approach, fans in Germany are keeping their fingers crossed for Seidel and Neugebauer. Their impressive performances at the "Finals" in Dresden have given them a strong foundation to build upon, and they are poised to make a significant impact on the global stage.
