German gymnasts miss the final again: Dauser is fighting for medal

The disciplined world of gymnastics has again experienced a setback for the German team. At the Olympic Games in Paris, the team of national coach Valeri Belenki had to cope with a bitter disappointment, as it did not reach the team finals this year either.

important factors for failure

The way to success in a competition can often be rocky. With 245.395 points, the German gymnastics only missed the eleventh place in qualification. This is particularly painful because the team at the World Championships in Antwerp still took sixth place. In order to move into the desired final, the German gymnasts would have to get up in the top eight of the qualification.

service despite injuries

An outstanding example of stamina is the strong bar world champion Lukas Dauser. The 31-year-old had only suffered a serious upper arm injury five weeks ago. Despite this handicap, he was able to do gymnastics and bars on the ground and scored considerable 15,166 points there. In his words: "In the end, it is a miracle for me that I'm here at all. I sometimes have to pinch myself."

Detailed insights to the injury

Dauser gave insights into the state of his injury, in which he tore a muscle bundle in the biceps. The Olympic qualification in Rüsselsheim turned out to be particularly high pressure, which he had to counter not only physically, but also mentally. "It was blatant. The pressure was already big, I did it myself in the past few days," he reported. This awe of the challenge reflects the intensity with which athletes fight at this high level.

The team structure and a look into the future

national coach Valeri Belenki was impressed by the team performance: "Great praise to the team. I think they tore themselves together." The pressure that is on every single gymnast to survive in the international competition is enormous. Nils Dark emerged with 81.232 points as the best German all -rounder and thus qualified for the upcoming final in six -fight, even if he was denied the entry into the final at the pommel horse.

meaning for the community

These Olympic Games not only underline the challenges in front of which the gymnasts are facing, but also the importance of the community spirit in sport. While the teammates support each other and cope with the challenges together, there is hope that the next competitions will be crowned with more success. Due to the stubborn exertion and the tireless team spirit, you can build on it, learn from experience and to come back more in the future.
